PrintSince last week's solicitation for new writers here at BRB, we've been fortunate to receive several excellent submissions. If you're interested and haven't yet e-mailed me your entry, the deadline to do so is Friday, May 13th at 11 p.m. CDT. Don't be shy. No decisions have been made, and no decisions will be made until after all submissions are in. In all likelihood, we'll be notifying the entrants of our decision sometime between Sunday and Tuesday.
To further pique your interest, I've decided to add more than just one writer. Further details await after the jump.
That's right. Instead of just adding a single new voice to BRB, we're going to add two. Consequently, that's twice as many openings as we originally contemplated, so the odds of you being chosen to be in charge of the lighting at Kerns' weekly "Ben Tate Poetry Jam" write here just went up exponentially.
Get those entries in!

Never gets old!
Capt. Nately: You're a shameful opportunist! What you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
Old man in whorehouse: You have it backwards. It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees. I know.

And one horrible submission
Somehow, mcnair2vy was able to write an article in crayon and send it to us. How you do that over the Internet? I have no idea.
A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

more like stalking.

Get lost,
looser.
Blind fandom is all I got left. That and this bottle of Clorox. And this Drano. And this lamp. And this paddle ball game.

Punctuation fail.
There is twice as much punctuation in that sentence as there should be. Looser.
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

I think i'll stick to my low bar
and just make odd and dumb comments here and there. If there ever is a moment that i feel theres something i need to share with the community at large, i’ll write it well enough so it will get bump up front.
Unlike you, I'm setting my bar high
Again, call me when the Texans GM job opens up

Reality Check
First of all, I would like to address the nay-sayers and haters who find it easy to kick a “fan” while he’s down. The time is coming when the long-suffering Texans fans will have
the season they have longed for.
The actions of the Home team" owner and management this off-season would seem to indicate that they have abandoned the “build from within and hope for the best” approach to NFL defense.
By hiring a proven D coordinator and making a concerted effort to provide him with help via the only available means. THE DRAFT. They appear IMO to have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. The long journey begins with a single step………. and I believe
WE ARE ON OUR WAY.
Interesting
I somehow find this extremely pertinent to the topic of discussion in the OP.
But then again, I’ve been drinking a lot of free beer tonight.
