This is alot more time and effort then i thought it would be. Hardly seems worth $20,add in watching the game and youll only getting about $3 per hour.
The value comes from a lot of different angles. First off, you're getting published. I'm going into my second year as a recapper, and I've noticed it helps me focus on critical aspects of the game, from both a fantasy and overall football perspective. Its also a solid incentive to leverage your football knowledge and FF expertise in a concrete way. Plus, there is something incredibly cool about pounding coffee at 3 AM after MNF to meet your deadline. Closest I'll ever get to journalism for sure.Also, its nice to spend the end of season money on the lady friend--it keeps me and football on stable ground.I highly recommend this...not as a financial investment, but as a way to invest in FF and FBGs, and ultimately yourself.
This isn't a way to make a lot of money. It's a great way to work on your writing chops. Anyone that wants to be a sports reporter (or sports writer) some day has to produce published pieces that demonstrate professional skills.
