I've been a bit quiet here lately, so wanted to fill everyone in on what's been going on. I've been working on two fronts, besides my normal BP writing and BPR (which is going to be a great show this week.) First, publicity for STP is going extremely well. I don't have much to judge it against, but I'm doing more and more media. It's growing as well. After doing ESPN Radio's Baseball Show last week, I'm doing Chuck Wilson on Sports this week. Chuck's one of the best interviewers out there, so I was honored to be on with him. There's some possible ESPN TV as well.
I'm also working with a "major journalist" on a story that could break pretty big. I'm just the "expert witness" on this story of what baseball is doing to prevent injuries. There's a steroid side to this, but mostly, it looks like an evenhanded look at why there's no coherent research effort underway at MLB. It got really interesting when I found out that MLB is using Frank Coonelly as their front man on injuries. Huh? The labor counsel on the injury beat?
I'll keep you informed as this one goes forward, but it should be yet another interesting week. I think the recent talk of writer's block is great; it's something I've fought, like every other writer has other than Steven King. I can't wait for Ken's takes on burnout!
