I recieved a call from a friend tonight urging me to send a submission for the Paul Finebaum Sidekick contest. Since I've got no experience in talk radio, I figured I was perfect for the contest. I went ahead and sent in a submission. Hey, this could be my big break.
Here's what I sent in:
Why do you feel qualified in 50 words or less:
I write for the 528th ranked sports blog (playisunderreview.com) which is ranked right behind whydontwethrowittothetightend.com, a site dedicated to analyzing the Alabama offense. I can hold my own in intramural sports. I think I can fix Alabama basketball. I'm your man.
If you're looking on this site and you're from the Paul Finebaum Radio Network, in hindsight, I think this is what I should have said starting with the second sentence.
I live in Tuscaloosa, so I can always start a sentence with "What I'm hearing in Tuscaloosa..." and I'll have instant credibility with all Alabama fans.
Josh, this one is for you....

Good luck, buddy! I am rooting for you and tell Finebaum I will be a regular listener if he gives you the gig.
Also please tell Pauly I take back all those mean things I called in and said to him on the air a few years back after his negative comments about Sammy Sosa. In hind sight I may have been defending a roid-headed idiot who sucks at baseball, has no concept of loyalty, and had to buy a new "boom box" after the 05 season courtesy of Kerry Wood.
I'm not really into sports but I'd listen to Paul Finebaum if you become his sidekick. I'd also call in & harass you.
Congragulations on being 528th! What an honor!
PS - jray sure likes to use the word "idiot" a lot.
