Getting fitted for mouse ears

Yeah, it's been a while since I've posted here. Chalk it up to a part of being busy, another part of wasting time on Facebook and another part of being lazy/apathetic toward keeping this blog up.

However, that may change in one way or another soon. That's because I'm moving up to the greater Bristol area next month to be part of the fantasy edit staff up at the Worldwide Leader. I guess I'm not the only person to be poached in recent days, although I'm definitely not as high profile as some of the others mentioned in that story.

I'll be officially leaving SI next week after 10 1/2 years there, so it's weird to be moving on, but it also seems like it's about time for a change.

Maybe now with the change (as well as the end of the fantasy football season -- I did win my office league), I'll be freed up a bit to blog here again.

Congrats!

Here is my one suggestion re: fantasy sports at ESPN.com (and for fantasy sports in general): come up with a very straightforward, navigable, and prominent way to present injury information on Sunday mornings. Too many times when I'm trying to make fantasy decisions, I'm forced to search around for the active/inactive lists. Most of the time, these lists are filled with players who are fantasy nonentities (offensive linemen and such). CNNSI tried to make this better with their red/yellow/green thing, but often times that was unclear, limited, or not updated close to gametimes.

I'm not sure how much you have to do with how info is displayed on the sites (versus just providing the content), but these are just my thoughts.

Congratulations! It's been a big year for you. New job, winning your office football league and winning the BDBML baseball league!

congrats, jq! you've had a great run at SI, and I'm sure the folks in Bristol will put your talents to good use. Say hello to Scott Walker and Jon Scher if you run into them.

Way to go JQ! I enjoyed working with you when I was at CNNSI.com. I'll look forward to following what you're up to at ESPN.
