Congrats PK...very well deserved. I read the last article you had up there and it was awesome. Don't forget to link the articles so us lazy people don't forget to check them out.
Good luck!
Congratulations! That's great! Way better than blogging. High-fives and cold drafts to you!
Well, there's one significant difference than blogging, which is monetizing my writing. But it won't be much different, aside form obvious limits on language, links and Dick Vitale jokes.
In short, same stuff, different address.
And I've done that all before for high-profile, mainstream media. Just have never been able to call it my focus.
Great News!! ESPN.com was getting a bit stale, you'll bring some of the fun back to it. Best of luck.
Mazel Tov! Your site inspired me to start a blog of my very own. I think it is great you will get to write for a broader audience, bringing the inane and humorous to the masses!
Why dont you have guest writer on those days. This would be a good way for other talented writers to "strut their stuff". Plus with the amount of hits your site receives it would be good exposure. That was alot of seriousness for so early in the morning. How about we end the comment with "Woo peed on my rug, man!"
"The rug did tie the room together"
In a sense my site has always featured guest writers, in the forms of links. I've definitely linked to blog entries before, though only ones I thought would be interesting for my audience. But I don't care whether a writer typically gets 50 readers or 50,000. If it's good, I'll link to it.
In terms of other people's content being hosted on this domain, I think it would be a bit confusing.
Congrats on your new gig!! ESPN.com is already one of my daily morning reads, and now it is going to get even better:)!
Best Wishes!
Good for you man. Gettin' paid, gettin' paid. That's for the Chappelle fan in you.
Congrats Paul. On those days you wont be posting, your post should be a link to the article you wrote. Give us die hard fans something to do with our time!
A paying job? Next round is on you, then..
Congratulations! I'm looking forward to your columns for ESPN. With you and Bill Simmons, I think they've got a great 1-2 combo.
I'm more apt to call it a freelance gig than a job.
I don't think I'll be crossing paths with Simmons. He's Page 2, I'm working with Page 3. Maybe in October if the Sox make it to the playoffs. Maybe when Madden comes out. Maybe if I reference The Godfather 1,000 times.
It's always good to see a Syracuse grad making good :-) Of course, you've been making good for awhile, so it's about time someone like ESPN.com noticed.
Freelance shmeelance... who cares... you're doing what you fucking love. Good for you!!! We need to celebrate with adult bevies.
Congrats Paul. Best of luck with the new gig.
later

Congrats PK. Just think of how many times you will be recognized now at Yankee games. Your gonna be a superstar!
Well done PK. Good Luck. I hear it's a good outfit to work for.
You know how in the movies when a guy goes to prison they always say your supposed to find someone and kick thier ass, just so everyone knows not to mess witcha? I think I speak for all Yankee fans when I say it would be great if on day one you walk in and beat the crap out of Bill Simmons. He's an ass.
Good Luck
Congrats PK!
This site has entertained me for a few months now - looking forward to checking out Page 3 but I do hope you keep this one up as an occasional hobby

Good job, Katch.
Sports Center is next.
Congrats, Paul! Now the readership of ESPN.com will realize what your site readership already knows - the fact that you're a very talented writer. I look forward to reading your stuff (especially with the NFL season coming up...woo hoo! :) ) Way to go!!! :)
Excellent news. Congratulations!
Paul, great job on the column gig. I really liked your first one and look forward to reading more.
Paul, I've never been to New York, and I live in Canada for God's sake. But I read your site every day. I found it one day, and have not looked back. I guess the punchy writing, regular updates, and occasional links to hot babes are an irresistable trifecta.
Best of luck, and don't limit yourself. I don't always agree with your positions on sports teams, goats, or feature film, but I admire the way you express it and package it.

I think he just said that he admires your package.....
Way to go Paul, congrats. Now cover more Hockey!!!!
That's huge mate. Well done. I'll be reading for sure. Next for you has to be a guest apperance on Pardon The Interuption!
Great News!! Sounds like the job of a lifetime for you...well Cashman isn't on the block yet.
Jeff
Congrats.
I have enjoyed your site for a while - good to see you are getting a bigger forum.
Good luck.
Nice pitching Contreras and Rivera...thanks
That's awesome Paul, now lets take that first paycheck and blow it at SCORES!!!
I go out of town for a couple of days and come back to find PK up and writing for ESPN.com???
Congratulations Paul!!!
I read Page3 today. Very good inaugural column.
I know I'll be there on Mondays & Thursday's to read it from now on and will be passing it on to others as well.
Congrats Paul... You deserve it! Your one of the coolest dudes I met in a while. Good luck!
Excellent job on the first article. I thought for sure you would some how mention the soccer ref who shot and killed a coach who disagreed with one of his calls. My question is beyond the obvious one of what has this world come to, what soccer ref decides when he is getting dressed for a game to pack a gun in his shorts? Lets see, I have my whistle, my yellow card, red card, clock, ... what am I missing. Oh yeah, MY GUN!! Dont ever come to a match with out it.
Wish I'd known about the soccer story. Would've definitey included that.
Paul,
Great news. You deserve the success. I'm excited to see your stuff!
Great Marty Kove mention in your first article. Well done.
I found your site a couple years ago when I googled for "Spring Break webcam". You've come a long way.
Congrats, Paul. Good luck over at Page 3, and I'll hold back on 'that new guy is good' email to the editors for a bit.
Congrats PK...very well deserved. I read the last article you had up there and it was awesome. Don't forget to link the articles so us lazy people don't forget to check them out.
Good luck!
