    you need to publish a press release... I am not sure the big newspapers would publish as not sure what you could pr about based on the content. you could try looking at some of the more fun online places like dailymash or something?

    Try to write a press release about your story and business. Submit it to press releases websites and they distribute it to the search engines.

    A press release is a good idea - your site seems like it would be of high generic interest for football fans.

    If you'd like to get a free list of press release sites to submit to, plus some PR writing tips, see my sig.

    You can also write articles to get your site lots of backlinks, plus some traffic. I notice your site has a lot of videos, but if you have some unique content that you can submit to the directories, it would help you.

    Before doing anything, ask yourself this:

    Why would they want to write about your site and what would they write about?

    s_tirmizi hit the nail on the head.

    YOU contact them. Find the name of the person to send the e-mail to. Introduce yourself, ask him if he would like to write a short piece to fill any space in the paper that needs filling.

    No offense, but I'm afraid that there isn't anything in your site worth writing about. I see nothing but videos.

    You are better off writing articles, and then submitting them to the papers.

    I've got a friend who submitted his fantasy baseball site to blogburst.com and has had several of his blog articles picked up by newspapers. If your blog is good enough, give it a try. They don't accept all blogs.
