    I wrote an article on my blog about how you can compare blogging to the sport Football. I was wondering if I could get some opinions about the article and also your opinions on the exact subject at hand. I really appreciate the opinions and all of that. Thanks.

    The article: Blogging Is Like Football

    Yeah, I agree that a lot of places are like football. You need to be aggressive (offensive), but at the same time, play a bit of passiveness and step back a bit (defensive) when going into a market place. It's a great way to haggle.

    Sure is. Anyone else have any other opinions? And if anyone wants to spare any stumbles, that'd be awesome. :)

    Stumbled, very good analogy. To bad blogs and websites aren't the "Field of Dreams" or we'd all be rich! In our world it's more like "If we build it, you better find a way to make them come."

    Thanks a lot. But, yeah, that's definitely true. We may be able to build great websites, but if we can't give them a reason to come, the people will definitely not come. Thanks.

    Yeah, I was looking to bring a bit more relevance to other people. It's one thing to have a business mind, but sometimes you need things explained in another way.

    Jim Cramer is lot like the NY Jets. They talk a big game, but when you go back and look at the stats you realize they haven't done anything great lately.

    Fully agreed. You have interestingly made the comparision.
    In both matters the hard working and continious working without being complacent is must.

    But, to everyone...I really appreciate the compliments on the article.
