Introducing Sports Quotient
This is a belated introduction as the Sports Quotient is already more than a dozen posts old but nevertheless.
Ever since I started blogging, I have enjoyed writing two kinds of posts. One which are detailed, involve research and are fairly long. These are generally planned out and are exhaustive. The others are the short ones, which more often than not happen on the spur of the moment. You see or read something and that sparks a though leading to a post. Until now, both have featured prominently on ACF, with the second variety usually appearing under the Quick Quips section. An example being the post about umpires in cricket needing helmets. For a while, I have been struggling to maintain a balance between the two; trying to ensure that I have fair mix of both. For obvious reasons, it is easier to come up with posts of the second type. They take less time and time happens to be an invaluable commodity in my life today. So in trying to ensure a balance, I have not written a few Quick Quips. But now after having seen Rick Reilly’s ‘too short for a column’, I was inspired to do the same. I tried using Twitter for the short posts for a while but it didn’t work due to the 140 character limitation. Reilly’s idea was perfect. These posts are too short to be called an article and a tad too long to be called a tweet. An idea was born and we are now ready to change. The shorter posts will now appear on a new page – Sports Quotient, but the old ones (about 45 of them) will continue to reside in the Quick Quips archives on ACF. And the longer posts will be continue to appear on ACF. Request readers to send in interesting sports links, stories or simply any random sports thought that they have. We will try to feature them on the new section. Cheers.
