I just posted my interview with Seattle Derby Brat, Lilly Lightning, on my Examiner page for everyone to enjoy. And I'm telling ya...she totally ROCKED it!!!!! And speaking of rocking things---I want to thank everyone who contributed and read the article about the Oly Rollers the other day. It easily doubled my largest hit count on the Examiner to date! And I also got an email from the sports management team saying how much they loved both my takes and everyone else's! So everyone definitely had a hand in that one, for sure!!! Don't forget to subscribe to my Examiner page (and Killer Vee's---and any other derby Examiners you can find). We are definitely finding a new audience for the sport of roller derby on there!

I posted my brief recap on my Examiner page pretty much right after it was done. Perhaps setting a record for the soonest time I've ever posted a recap (lol). Two years ago I predicted Oly would win the championship this year. Now I don't know what I'm gonna lean on for the near future. I usually don't openly make predictions. And I don't think I will be making another one that looks 2 years into the future ever again (lol).

I just posted my WFTDA national championship tournament prediction on my Examiner page. Feel free to leave your comments in the box on there sharing your predictions as to how things might go. Afterall, if I'm brave enough to stick my neck out there and you want to laugh at me if I wind up wrong, it's only fair that you put your predictions out there for the public to see, too. Isn't it? Oh...and as always...don't forget to subscribe to the new page

I just posted it on my Examiner page since I figured now would be an awesome time to interview one of Oly's very best leading up to Nationals this weekend in Philadelphia. I hope you enjoy it!

I posted it last night on my Examiner page. Just click on the blue there to go read it! Also, I have three interviews pretty much set up. I have sent 2 of the questionaires out to skaters and I will do one more here sometime today. So if you haven't subscribed to my Examiner page yet, now might be a good time to do it. As I've said before---there is a lot more on there than just my roller derby page. Plus if you subscribe to it, you can leave comments on there. And you wouldn't even have to come over here and read this crummy thing, either (lol). An email is sent to you letting you know whenever I've posted something new on there. I hope you enjoy the recap!

I just posted it on my Examiner page for you to check out. As far as I know, it's the only derby bout going this weekend in the northwest. So if you can make it, you should definitely check it out! It will be at an AWESOME venue (not the Soccer Center). And not to mention the matchup between these two teams last year in Bend ended in a 125-116 nail-biter of a win for Lava City. And some more cool news I will share with you in this here blog...
Last Thursday afternoon, I got a phone call from the managing editor of the Examiner. He first told me that he was really impressed by the start I've had on there---way better than usual. In fact, he said that my page is one of the fastest growing they have ever seen on there (even though they don't keep such stats). And not only that, but he also said that the interview with Skate Pauli Girl was one of the BEST articles he had ever seen since he took the job a little over a year and a half ago! He sent it around to the rest of the Examiner office for everyone (regardless of their department) to read and pass along to others. And he also demanded more interviews in the future.
Needless to say, I agreed to that one in a snap (lol). And he also mentioned that, even though there aren't very many of us, the Examiner is looking for more roller derby writers across the nation. So if you're interested in writing for them, you should go ahead and apply to do it! And you do get paid for it (granted, not very much. But you do get paid). Just click on the link on the page there if you're interested in giving it a go. And don't forget to mention me (Tom George...use my real name) as your reference. And if you haven't done it yet, you should also subscribe to it, too. That was another thing the managing editor mentioned to me---he said I had a "freakish amount of subscribers for a page so new". And I wouldn't mind continuing that trend  Anyway, I hope you like the bout preview! And thanks for supporting the new page like you have!!!

I just posted it on the Examiner for your reading pleasure. And honestly, this might be the best interview I've done up until now. They have all been good, but Skate REALLY went the extra mile in this one for me!!! I'm going to try to do one interview on there each week. Especially now since most leagues are preparing to go into hybernation for the winter (lol). And once again...don't forget to subscribe to the page once you get there. Just click on that link above the interview and you'll get email updates whenever I post something new on there

I just posted it on The Examiner page. Hopefully you will not only check out the preview, but attend the bout, too. Especially since I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to make it yet. Rotten working nights  And, of course, don't forget to subscribe to my page on The Examiner. I picked up 38 more yesterday! So do what all the cool kids are doing and don't be the last to subscribe to my page

I just posted it on The Examiner for your reading pleasure. Also, I scratched the "all-star team" thing and went back to the "three stars". Although I do think I will keep the "all-star team" around for events like last week in Centralia. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it! And don't forget to subscribe to the page, either. You will get emails each and everytime I post something on there. Plus there is a lot of other interesting articles and subjects on The Examiner. For wherever you may live in the United States (or even the world, now).
