The Envelope Please...

Matthew, you have already won!

Matthew, last name withheld to protect the innocent, was the first reader to reply to an entry on this blog. He provided a thoughful, complimentary comment on the Internet Culture edition of Sports Talk Live from August 1st. He pointed out that the "old" media better get in step with the "new" media, and right quick, because that's where sports information is going in the 21st century. Reasoned, well-informed, and completely devoid of any clever wordplay on my name: THAT'S the kind of response that will get you noticed in my world, people.

For this, Matthew, I give you my sincere gratitude and undying respect. I'm still working on better prizes than that, but it's all I got right now.

Thanks also, Matt, for confirming that the "Reply" button actually works.
