    The problem with choosing a highly topical name for your blog is that you instantly get trumped by reality. To wit, the current headline @ ESPN:

    "Sources: Ref agreement closer" #thelearningcurve

    This is not a bad idea, since refs definitely suck. #thelearningcurve

    1. The name sucks. Here are some suggestions:
    -- Owful Officiating
    -- Man-on-Zebra Action
    -- Final Ref'ing Place
    -- Unfettered Tedium
    -- 2 Weak 2 Play, 2 Dumb 2 Coach

    2. Change up the look from the off-the-shelf Blogspot template.

    3. Find a better writer. #thelearningcurve

    So people got sick of the "ESPN Comment of the Day" feature in a couple weeks, and yet this piece still makes it on here? We get it, they're all going to be the edgiest and wittiest of them all.

    Honestly, how many people actually visit any of these blogs after they're done pleading their case on here?

    Like the direction you're taking. Some suggestions:

    --Go crazy with the border/graphic design, you crazy crazies. Gimme some hair!

    -- Dig deeper. Why has the success come with THIS beard, and not the preceding pedostache?

    -- Perhaps some fun with alternative-history: how would muttonchops have worked-- would the Vikings be better, worse, or as-effective-but-in-a-different-way? What about if it were a saucy Van Dyke?

    Cheering for a man's beard is equally as gay as living in the neighborhood where they filmed Rent.

    This is much more entertaining than "Brad's Bard Blog" where Bradley Whitford just posts story after story about iambic pentameter.

    I haven't seen two men so excited about a beard since those Jewish guys in Harold and Kumar watched The Gift to see Katie Holmes's tits.

    I don't know how concerned you are about longevity, but I'd suggest shooting an email Childress' way along these lines:

    easily the most talked-about Beard in recent Minnesota history.

    Appolonia and Manuela would both beg to differ.

    In reply to The Learning Curve: A Giant In Redskin Country
    John,

    My first suggestion is to make sure Craggs runs this post on a day when most people are actually working and commenting on the site.

    Also, if you're going to be a "Giant in Redskin Country," have some fun with it. Write about how loathsome DC is. You could even go as far as wearing Giants gear out one night and document your conversations, arguments, injuries, hospital bills, and lawyer fees.

    Other than that, you could probably fix the site up and make it look appealing rather than standard blogger stuff.
