What is your editorial policy? What are your submission guidelines?
There are just a few guidelines to keep in mind. One major fact is unless it is an extraordinary situation, we do NOT allow the use of unnamed sources.  If an unnamed source is required, the story must be cleared by our editor prior to submission. Much of our work is subjective, as we encourage our writers to put themselves in their articles; however when hard reporting is called for, that's what we give you: sources should be named, and multiple sources will be required in the rare case where they are not. Click here for on our submission guidelines!

Do you have a Amateur Sports store?
Yes and the store is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Click here.

Do you offer a Podcast? When / Where can I hear it?
Yes, we do have a Podcast. In fact, we currently have one show, which can be heard every Saturday morning at 8am CST by clicking here.

We are currently developing two separate shows for early 2012...
