    Me Being Selfish

    And probably not the right forum!

    Anyway, at the risk of sounding like I have an ego, I wanted to share with you guys that I was hired to write for Steelers Depot today. Obviously, I'm really excited about what I hope is a long term thing, as is their goal.

    Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to post my game thoughts and other content directly on this forum. Of course, I'll still link them but I'm obligated to write everything exclusively for them.
    But obviously, I'll still be on here talking with you guys and all that fun stuff.

    I also wanted to take the time and not just toot my own stupid horn. But to thank all of you, especially the Admins (Gary & Eric) for making this such a great site and for your encouragement/feedback for the content I've put on here. I really am thankful for it and appreciate it more than you'll ever know.

    Hopefully this is the start of something really cool.

    That is awesome, Alex! Congrats - I'm sure your work for the other sports site got you noticed by SD. I'd like to say they've read this forum and seen your posts, but that would be selfish and patting ourselves on the back.

    congrats , this is the second time in two days I have heard this news .... ( two separate people getting hired to write on Steelers football on two separate sites )

    hopefully Bleacher report returns of its early days now with an influx of new writers , as it used to be a really good site ...

    best of luck to both of you !!

    You will always have a special in my heart, both you and LLT. I have always enjoyed what you have written for us, and could see the obvious talent that was there. It does not surprise me that someone else could see that as well. As I have always said, I see a bright future for you.

    Congrats Alex! With you writing for the Depot, maybe it could bring some of their readers over here and we could have more members sign up.

    'Grats. I love following Dave on twitter, and love both the terrible podcast and the site. Personally, I also love some of the 'dry' writing on th Depot such as oline breakdowns etc. Hope you guys keep that stuff coming.

    Congrats, Alex! You're going to have a very nice résumé already started when you graduate! Just don't forget us when you start writing for SI or the Sporting News.
