BloodyElbow.com Announces Cannon Jacques As Site's Newest Contributor

by Luke Thomas on Oct 30, 2008 11:49 AM EDT in MMA News

To meet the growing demand being placed on this site (and because his work has been outstanding), BloodyElbow.com is proud to announce that "Cannon J" is now the newest writer on the site.

We'll change his screen name to his full name soon, but anyone who reads this site knows exactly who he is. Like many of the other writers on the site, Jacques got his start in the FanPosts. His well-written and thoughtful posts immediately caught the attention of the staff here and after realizing we needed his services to match the growth of the site we decided to bring him on board.

So, on behalf of everyone here at BloodyElbow.com, welcome aboard, Cannon! And let this be a lesson to everyone that the FanPosts are a great way to get your work noticed even if you aren't part of the staff or don't run your own blog. Cannon proved that, Michael Rome proved that and maybe you can, too.

He'll have to earn his shot at me

starting with Cannon J, then Nelson & Fagan, then Nick, Brent and Luke….only then when he’s climbed to the summit can he challenge the mighty mighty KN.

In a strange display, when referee Herb Dean asked if the fighters were ready, Mythbuster said, “I’m gonna go ahead and tap out now…”. So Kid Nate, and the entire Bloodyelbow staff, win by verbal tapout at minus three seconds of the first round.

by mythbuster on Oct 30, 2008 2:33 PM EDT up reply actions

Wouldn’t that be a DQ? Either way, same level as the losing due to “refused to stand up from butt scoot”.

(Dude, Nate’s a confessed couch potato! You can take him!)

Congrats! Great addition to the BE team. However, I do agree that the next addition must fight his or her way onto the team.

Thanks everyone.

I really enjoy this site and am honored to be a part of it as a formal contributor. However, there are a lot of great writers around here that aren’t apart of the staff, yet. I would encourage anyone that enjoys writing and expressing their opinions on issues to try their hand at the FanPosts. As you can see, the BE staff welcomes contribution and doesn’t hesitate to promote good pieces to the front page.
