I wonder what a Bleacher Report commercial would look like if Zander and the head honchos at B/R decided to make one. I wonder what it would look like if Billy Mays was presenting it…hmm…zzz…
This pitch was presented in front of a live studio audience.
Bored with sports? Is sports a passion that you can write about? Are your writing skills at least up to the minimum standards (i.e. at least eighth grade)? Think you can write about your hometown or favorite teams better than your local newspaper writers?
Hi, Billy Mays here with the solution. Welcome to the open source sports networking site known as Bleacher Report. Here you can interact with fans of every genre of sport. From baseball and football down to high school sports, Bleacher Report has it all.
But wait, there’s more! Here on Bleacher Report you can write all your favorite teams and players in a news-style platform. Bleacher Report is your one-stop-shop for all sports and sports-related news and humor written by you the fans.
Boring college classes giving you fits? Have a laptop with a free Wi-Fi connection like at Temple University? Write an article on Bleacher Report, vote for the article that you think deserves to be the “Article Of The Day,” and much more.
Boring family get together? Near a computer? Jump on Bleacher Report and see who’s been reading your articles.
Now for a change; you don’t have to be a Journalism major in college to write about sports. It’s so easy even a spotty teenager and old-timers can write about sports on Bleacher Report.
Here you can see how the “patent” B/R process works for writing articles
1. It starts in the brain: all those ideas formulating into an idea that is filled with sports goodness.
2. Then as that creamy idea of sports nougatty goodness starts to cram into a candy bar sized idea, it flows down to the fingers when the idea becomes words.
3. Then, as those fingers type out those words it is translated to the interwebs or interweb for you to see.
4. Finally, after spell check is used on your creamy goodness that is a sports article it is finished ready for all to see (and comes back to you as the finished product).
