I am a huge fan of Elliot Friedman's 30 thoughts, which is the type of format that would be a nice quick daily read. (Either that or a mildly distatseful comic strip if you are artistically inclined.)

And... Someone remind me how more information presented in an enjoyable fashion can be a bad thing?

Brilliant! Love every part of this Chuk.

There is a little kids ditty that asks the question - Do you want some more? and the response is "Oh yes, please."

Love it.

Definitely something Praba and I will consider doing.

This is the reason I love doing challenges and contests like this because we get stellar ideas from everyone. You guys want it, we'll deliver it. It's that simple. If ever you guys want something covered, you know where to ask.

Thanks to all that put up title suggestions, very appreciated! As for the negative ones, well every blog will have them right?

I vote for this one as well - great idea!

Shoeless' dipshit attractor works as well, though if all of us are lucky it will not be applicable in a couple weeks...

I do like Chuks PG 13 idea as it brings something a little different than the Daily Ramblings.

Personally, your copycat idea of the ramblings is one thing I DID NOT like about your campaign as it's already being done and being master by the Dobber Gods themselves.

PG 13 is a better way to go about getting your daily thoughts out to the forum without completely copycating Daily Ramblings.

Some cool names you could use if you choose the more traditional daily ramblings route are:

Behind the Bench
From the Pressbox

I think it's fair to say that we will go the PG-13 route (fits in well with the section theme). Although it may be more of a twice (or thrice) weekly release due to some off NHL nights. Stay tuned for an official update regarding this aspect of our section.

Classic case of ironing out the wrinkles!

PG13 sounds great!

Little shocked at allthe animosity towards more ramblings- I really liked the idea. Look at the difference between dobber and angus. Anyone can look at the boxscore and just reiterate who scored and what amount. The bottom line is that "ramblings" give you deeper insight into whats going on out there- and a new voice will mean new perspectives. If people think its contrived or copycatting thats their right but all you have to do is skip your trip to that thread. Im a little surprised at all the hate.

I think Dutch is just pissed because there never anything worth rambling about going on in Nashville!!!

:P

Funny thing, I'm a Nashville fan too!

Realistically I can see both sides of the coin. There's a reason why poll was a split decision. That said, praba and I will come to a conclusion soon enough - once he wakes up from his cat nap haha... might have drank a little too much milk last night!
