People may have started to notice an influx of posts with links that lead directly to central.sonsofsamhorn.net. Thus far, there have been four threads started.
Confidence: The Monday Night Preview
The Importance of Week One
Understanding Offensive Personnel Packages
Thoughts on the ACL – Rob Gronkowski, Jake Ballard, and Adrian Peterson’s “Baby Knee”
Each one of these articles provide deep dives into focused areas of the football medium. In these particular cases, the focus is gambling, advanced statistics, offensive schemes, and football injuries. This is the start of "Football Central", a project taken on by a handful of SoSHer's dedicated to discussing football on a deeper and more meaningful level.
The members who frequent this forum have done a great job of creating content that is engaging and captivating, more so than nearly any other NFL site on the web today. They've also done yeoman's work while scouring the internet for knowledgeable articles worth discussing and analyzing. The site has continued to push the envelope of advanced discussion by bringing in journalists, statisticians, and media pundits to discuss the Patriots and the NFL. These things have pushed "Blinded by the Lombardi's" to be a thought leader on football knowledge. It has driven fans, media, and industry contributors to our door.
Enter Football Central.
The internet, as we all know, has radically increased the speed at which we share information. Weekend wrap-ups of all the weekend games appearing on Mondays, generally by a single writer, has become a staple of football reporting in the internet age. The effect this has had on our understanding of events, though, is at best dubious. Opinions can be shared in an instant. Insight and understanding, however, proceed at their own pace. When nationally known sports commentators tell you that they love the Red Zone channel, they are telling you something loud and clear: they are not watching the games.
One thing can be known for certain about these weekend summaries: the author did not watch all of these games. Yet said author still feels like he has something to say about these games. A football game is a progression, a narrative, one which follows a path characterized by evolving strategy and tactics that cannot be encapsulated by a box score and a hand-full of highlights. We believe that our readers will understand our eschewal of such “instant reaction” pieces as not a failure to deliver information, but a refusal to deliver mere content at the expense of substance in our effort to honor our commitment to offer superior discussion of NFL football.
We have a stable of writers who's sole purpose is to create thought-provoking content. We have a dedicated staff of editors who spend hours cutting up pieces, driving deadlines, and pushing more out of their writers. We have daily content being cultivated to continually ensure the people visiting the site have something interesting and unique to read every day. We are looking to advance the conversation that takes place around the television on Sunday's.
And we're always looking for more help.
The foundation of this project was to drive thoughtful and engaging content that is scarce and hidden on the internet. While cultivating contributors from this website, there were many, many brilliant writers that we couldn't reach out to. There are posts in this forum from as recently as the last few days that could be brilliant long form articles. We have the staff to help you grow these pieces into something unique and awesome.
So, if you have ideas and posts that you are looking to make that you think would be good features on Football Central, reach out to us! We'd love to add to our staff and bring in some more talented writers!
