Competition Comment: Excellent entries, and many of you are ready to enter the professional world as spots writers. The writing was interesting and colorful and boy did you have opinions. Good job! Remember, as a sports columnist you're in the business of making people think and take sides in this marvelous world we call sports. Don't be afraid to stand up for something, to ask for change, or to praise someone for doing a good job. And, always, by your third paragraph or sooner, state what your talking about. State your opinion early, defend your opinion in your body and say it again iin the end. Again, good job. Good luck to all of you. It's a mean and different world out there. Take care.
