(I'd love to live in Columbus just to be able to say that I love BJs and not sound like a complete @sshat).
Anyways, Balls Brunswick and SchoolYourPool.com Fantasy Hockey has been tramping through the NHL to preview the upcoming season for each team and we are ready to go with the Blue Jackets. I have to say that while I see some holes in the pro lineup, they seem far fewer than a couple of seasons ago when Columbus went to the post-season. Problem may not be the team itself, but the level of play in the Western Conference.
Whatever the outcome, we have given you a PREVIEW into what this season holds...
Correct. Even locals sound like asshats when they talk like that.

Oh, and as a fellow writer, my input on that story is as follows:
Too "in your face" for me, but to each his own. I do like the statistical analysis at the bottom, though.
To each his own indeed... The Balls Brunswick persona is one that is typically in your face, however its the rational train of thought that caught my eye when he first came to me with his articles.
"Filatov was the subject of much e-ink last year for stealing head coach Ken Hitchcock's morning donut and was chased to Russia for the season in a highly public drama."
Don't know. Can't take an article seriously that results to jokes that were funny when your like 14 or when you decide to get drunk and watch some Adam Sandler.
Beyond that, it wasn't bad. Shame he had to resort to that nonsense.
Side note, I am not sure he has any idea what the word "dramatically" means.

Knock knock..?
who's there?
Boo...
boo who?
Don't cry... your BJs will battle for a playoff spot soon enough!

Uncreative, yet pointless. Have no idea what my post had to do with the Jackets making it or not to the playoffs. Answer: It didn't. But, thanks.
Fat jokes are usually save for individuals that want to make fun of someone but they aren't creative enough to find something truly original or relevant to say. Or for frat boys. In this case the blog writer seemed pretty intelligent, so I'll go with the latter.
Come on guys (writers). It was a fair write up, and it seems that you did your homework. And whether or not you were just joking around about calling them the BJ's or not, just in case it wasn't a joke, we refer to them as the CBJ, not the BJ's.
Even though you can make an accurate argument that they have blown for ten years, let's call them the name that they are known by.

Agreed - they are most commonly referred to as "the CBJ" or "the Jackets" here in Central Ohio. "The BJs" is our team's name for those from out of town who don't know any better and want a cheap laugh.
What's funny is I was making a conscious effort not to refer to the Blue Jackets as the "BJs" in my article. Leave it to the good SYP people to show up and commit a social faux pas in the very first post.

Much better then most write up's I see on blogs. Or major news outlets. Good work.

Where would you, as a fellow writer, be readable?
I cover the Western Hockey League for TSR, a non-profit scouting website. Here is one of my articles, if you're interested - on "BJ" prospect Ryan Johansen, pre-draft. I have some other articles on there if you'd like to read them as well.

I agree, it's a fair write-up. They do seem to have done their research, as I commented before, I like the statistical analysis at the bottom. I think alot of us just aren't used to their style of writing, and some find it a little offensive.
