Greetings from Out In The Loop
What a better way to celebrate tax day than a popular diversion - the Pats? Today I am launching a new feature of GoPats.com.
Out In The Loop is a new blog tied to the 12-year old Patriots fan Web site and is a big step forward in a few areas. First off, it brings me, the tech side of GoPats.com, front and center and writing, adding more comment and opinion. It adds an RSS feed to the site, allowing people to subscribe and read updates in their favorite reader or by email. It also opens up the conversation between GoPats.com and readers, as comments can be made to blog posts. All posts are moderated in case you were curious.
So what will you expect to read here? It will be a combination of my thoughts and opinions, from a Boston sports fan living in Chicago. It will not be the in-depth coverage Clint, Frank and Ralph have written about. I am not an X’s and O’s guy, and from what I have seen out there I am not alone. I will also post updates to other areas of GoPats.com, as well as passing along information we get from other fans and readers.
So what’s up with the name? Out In The Loop is a play on who and where I am. Being in Chicago, I am out of the loop of the day-to-day activity and buzz Pats fans get in the Boston area, yet I am in the Loop - the area defined by the circling elevated public transit trains in Chicago.
Welcome aboard, and Go Pats!
