Football Feature Writer: Derek Clendening

As a freelance writer, and a die-hard football fan, I’m glad to have a way to combine the two. My plan is to cover a wide variety of football topics that involve the NFL, the CFL and the NCAA. But it isn’t just about game scores. I want to offer articles on football strategies, history, and other anecdotes that football fans can enjoy year-round.

Be sure to check in here for news around the football world, both before, during, and after the football season. If you’re looking for a way to beat the off-season blues, I want this to be the first place you go to satisfy your pigskin craving.

Be sure to check out our football blog and feel free to post discussion comments. The more the merrier. And feel free to send me an e-mail.
