I would like to take this opportunity to announce that there is going to be a change to the format of my Street Cred Foxsports.com blog.  I will no longer be releasing articles every Tuesday and will be temporarily scaling down the content on my blog.

As many of you know in addition to this blog I write for the website FantasyFootballManiaxs.com.  Recently our website has merged with FantasyPros911, another fantastic website that specializes in fantasy sports and other sports news.  I am going to be writing articles for their website.  

FantasyPros911 is a great opportunity for aspiring sportswriters.  They offer great articles on both fantasy sports and stories around the NFL.  Their commitment to quality content has earned them a Google ranking of five.  Paul Greco, their VP of Business Operations is also the Associate Editor of BaseballDigest.com, the online version of the very popular baseball publication.  He has appeared on ESPN radio in the past.  

The struggle I am having is time constraints.  I just don't believe that I am going to have the time to write articles on a weekly basis for my FoxSports blog and give my full efforts to FantasyPros911.  I set very high standards for my work.  I would rather concentrate on writing a couple of high quality articles than writing five or six average ones.  I believe I would be compromising the quality of my blog and the quality of my work for FantasyPros911 if I tried to do both.  That is not something I am willing to do.

I do not plan on leaving the FoxSports.com community.  FantasyPros911 will allow me to post articles on my Street Cred Blog, provided that I give credit to them for the articles appearing on their site first.  My goal is to release an article once a month at Fox.  If Mike Greenspire holds his NFL blogger competition I would like to enter that again this year with the hope of winning first place.  I also plan to comment on other people's articles from time to time and remain a part of the community as time permits.

This is not a decision that I made lightly.  The Fox Sports Community is where I got my start and you guys have been very good to me for over the last two years.  I have known this might happen for about a month now and I have struggled back and forth how to best handle it.  The Fox Sports.com is a great community.  I believe the people that follow my blog are some of the most knowledgeable NFL fans in existence.  I have been very fortunate to have such knowledgeable fans follow it and thank each one of you for making me stronger.

I would also like to thank all my loyal readers who have supported me in the two plus years I have been writing my Street Cred Blog. Without you guys I would not be in a position to take advantage of this opportunity.  I invite you to stop in over at FantasyPros911 and check out my work over there. I periodically will post articles with links in this community as a reminder.     

This isn't goodbye, because I still plan to remain in the FoxSports.com blogging community.  But I feel that since you guys have been so supportive over the last two years, that I owed it to you to let you know about the scaling down of the blog and let you know where you can continue to read my work.   Thanks again and see you guys around.
