And Now, A Note From Brian Powell

First of all, I want to thank everyone for their emails, phone calls, faxes and telegrams, asking if I was still alive over the past few months. The answer is yes, and I'm also very well rested. The truth of the matter is two-fold, and while I won't bore you with the details, I will tell you it was a combination of "being burnt out" and "trying something new in life". If you want all the details, you can email me, but I think there are more important things to talk about. Like....Are the Pammies coming back? Was Chris Berman really honored by the NFL Hall of Fame? And, what the hell is a Bloguin?

In order, yes.....yes.....and the people that are going to help me keep this site going in the direction that it was intended to.

I started the site back in 2006 as an open forum of sorts. A place where people could bitch and moan about whatever network/announcer they disagreed with/couldn't stand, as well as a hub of information on hirings/firings, schedules, etc. For months, I tried to spot post, without much avail, and even hired other writers for the site. Nothing worked out until Bloguin stepped in and "righted the ship". They have lined up some great writers, overhauled the layout of the site (beautifully I may add) and are even keeping little ole' me around to post every so often.

All in all, it was the perfect match to keep the (slightly delayed) ball rolling in the way in which it was intended. I hope that you will at least give them/us a shot, and continue to comment on posts and The Pammies. Awful Announcing will be a fun (and updated) place again.....mark my words!

Thank you all for your patronage, and I will see you tomorrow for Day One of The Pammies!!!
