A Little Time Off...

I'm going to be taking a little time off from writing on SconnieSports.com because right now it's not what I wanted nor intended it truly to be. I want to write more specific articles about the Bucks, Packers, and Brewers instead of focusing so much on stats, fantasy sports and generalizations. I'm considering a few different options...

1. Making Sconniesports.com more into a forum so that more people can voice their opinions and ask questions as well. My original goal was to answer people's questions in regards to the three teams. I've got to find some better way to be able to do that.

2. Focusing just on the Packers and/or the NFL. Being the lone writer and focusing on three major franchises is somewhat of a daunting task and I'm not sure at this point that I'm completely up for it, we'll see.

3. Shutting down the site and just having more fun writing small things on Twitter.

There are other possibilities as well and as of right now I'm just taking some time off to rethink what I really want this to be about. Your suggestions and ideas would be greatly appreciated. You can email me at Sconniesports@gmail.com or send feedback right in the post. Regardless of what happens I appreciate any and all of you who have come to read what I've had to say at any given time, I really do appreciate it!
