This Monkey Apparently Couldn't Type Shakespeare

There's an old saying that goes 'if you put enough monkeys in a room with enough typewriters, sooner or later one of them will type the works of Shakespeare.'

Five months ago, AOL Sports combed the internet and gathered and eclectic group of monkeys from the best NFL Team blogs on the web and created the NFL Fanhouse. I was honored to be chosen as one of three simians dedicated to the Seahawks, and I tried to provide my own unique blend of insight, humor and sarcasm in the articles and observations I posted throughout this season.

We were all told at the beginning that this was a one-season work in progress, as nobody involved, from the AOL suits to the newly deputized primates, had a clue what would become of this venture. With the NFL season winding to a close this Sunday, most of us were recently notified to pack up our tire-swings and typewriters, as AOL has decided to take the NFL Fanhouse in the direction of their other sports superblogs, with a few dedicated bloggers covering the entire sport, rather than on a team-by-team basis.

So before I left, I wanted to thank my loyal readers and fans, all both of them, and to honestly say I've enjoyed my season as an official Seahawks blogger on a major corporate site. Making a little money for each post didn't suck either! I'm also grateful for the getting to know the other bloggers from our rival sites, and hope that we can continue the pre- and post-game smack-offs from our home blogs next season.

Anyone who just can't get through the day without reading what albaNY Hawker has to say about the Seahawks can catch me flinging my poo over at the 12 Seahawks Street blog or the SeahawkBlue fan forum.

To Jamie and those who will be continuing the NFL Fanhouse, I say thank you and be sure to maintain your edge! I'd hate to see this site morph into just another East-coast biased, corporate media site regurgitating the same tired sports news as ESPN, FoxSports and even NFL.com.

GOOD LUCK!
