PrintWe've almost made a decision, I swear. Before we publicly announce the new additions--or rather, have the new writers introduce themselves--we'll be responding to every person who submitted an entry to let him/her know if he or she was chosen. I anticipate sending those e-mails tonight, with the hope that the new "staff members" can start contributing on the front page tomorrow.
Thanks for your patience.

I just want to take a minute,
And say thank you to the folks at BRB for allowing two of us the chance to join their ranks. I also wanted to wish good luck to everybody who sent in submissions. I’ve been saying all along that there are a ton of excellent writers on here and that whoever they decide to add will do a damn fine job.
I really and truly mean it. Good luck everybody.

No, when Tim sent them out he sent them with no names attached. So we don’t even know who we’ve been debating over.

I'm looking forward to bigger and better things from the Texans this year... I've decided to start fresh and refocus on the things that matter... thats right... I speak of SKIN BLEACH! no need to burn your throat.. it can't feel it anymore anyways! apply directly to the skin or eyes and let the mind blowing pain steal your focus from the disaster on the field!

I think that this is a really good way to maintain the level of discourse and the personality of BRB.
There’s a really good core of folks that hang out here, some really creative minds and I’m looking forward to reading the new stuff.

Don’t let this illustrious position go to your head. And by “illustrious position” I mean posing as Tim’s human footstool for the next year.
