RealFootball365.com is currently looking for experienced writers to cover the following teams on a weekly basis:
Denver Broncos
Indianapolis Colts
St. Louis Rams
We only accept writers with virtually perfect grammar and composition as well as a keen football insight. You don't necessarily have to be a fan of the teams in question, but you must demonstrate a solid understanding of said team in order to be considered for the job.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Resumes are a plus, but will not be the determining factor. We've had individuals turn in fantastic resumes filled with impressive credentials, only to be utterly disappointed by their actual writing. If you would like to be considered, please submit a sample article (250 words minimum). It must be an original article that contains plenty of opinion and football insight. Take a look at our most recent columns so that you can get a feel for what we're looking for. No rehashing of current headlines.
Please send us your sample articles or ask any questions that you might have via e-mail at info@realfootball365.com
Note: we get a lot of submissions so we can't promise that we will reply to all inquiries.

Actually I really want to know. If he's one of their writers, I'd rather apply to Seventeen than that place.

Sorry if you see this is as spam.
I know there are several people here that can write and was trying to give someone an opportunity. It is a paid position.

I have not currently written anything about Croyle being the next Joe Montana. We will see what happens when he plays the Rams. ;D

You didn't answer the first part of my question. What and how do they pay you? Is there an expected minimum amount of write ups? Do they even care whether or not you write homer takes or use the words "Red Knight" or is there a degree of objective professionalism that's expected be maintained?

I get paid a few bucks per article via paypal. The pay rate increases over time. I already got a raise.
Is there an expected minimum amount of write ups?
When they hired me it was one article a week and now I am doing two.
is there a degree of objective professionalism that's expected be maintained?
Yes. You can look at the articles on their website and see for yourself. I have kept the homer takes to a minimum in my articles.

There's some articles I suspect are his but I guess "Clayton" doesn't get any credit for what he writes. Maybe you have to be with them a certain amount of time before you get credit like Eric Krupka does for example.

Thanks for the link Bob. I'm going to give it a go. I'm working on it right now! I'll post what I have and you tell me how it looks and what you think.
How much are you getting paid per article?

Okay, I just finished. I have high hopes for this opportunity. Hopefully the editor(s) aren't too quick to judge. I know I can offer an awful lot.
To Whom it May Concern:
As I understand it, you are looking for writers to cover three different teams. One of those teams being the Denver Broncos. I feel that I can offer a lot of insight as well as articles that provide the average reader the opportunity to connect with different players.
I will include a small sample writing that will display my ability to communicate in written format. I hope that you will find it both easy to read and informative.
Fire Boob, you'll find inner piece.
Aaron Brooks looks great in Silver and Black. I love the move!
San Diego fans are great, too bad they abandon the bandwagon before Thanksgiving.
Oh, and THE DENVER BRONCOS RULE AND THE QUEEFS SUCK!!!
I hope I get the job as there is plenty more where that came from.

Yeah, this has nothing to do with football... Just basic site promotion.
Post their articles, not their advertisements.

Me too!!! I seriously sent that writing sample. Holding out a lot of hope too! Thinking about quitting my regular job tomorrow, but I think I may wait until I hear back from them.

At least you're taking it seriously. That's more than we can say for some people around here.
