Hello everyone! I'm happy to announce that this month's topic is entirely positive and nobody is on our "naughty" list.
Most of you have probably noticed that 2016champions made the front page (what is this? Reddit?) in Rahat's post about Thaddeus Young. BBoley also made a recent appearance (getting married and making the front page in one month...it's all downhill from here 
). It has been decided that more of this is a good thing. The exact words went like this:
"I'd like to make a practice of highlighting [great posts] on the blog. I think that will not only encourage quality posts but also encourage better discussion by presenting both sides to an argument."
-Rahat Huq
What does this mean for you? It means an opportunity to become "internet famous". Brag to your friends about how one of ESPN's affiliates quoted you on their website. Incite envy amongst your peers and make them aware of the greatness that stands before them. Be validated in knowing that what you think is worth repeating. E-mail your relatives. Frame printed copies on the wall. Take a selfie in front of your monitor. Relish the moment.
But thejohnnygold, how can I, a simple Rockets fan, ever achieve such great heights?
I'm glad you asked. Should this level of glory interest you then you must do one thing and one thing only: make a quality post.
What makes one post better than another?
Another fine question! I think most of us already know so I will be brief. Address the issue at question. Make well thought out points. Use spelling, grammar, and diction. Support your stance with whatever data, stats, quotes, or other relevant material you can find or feel enhances the post. Don't worry about the length of the post. Pithy is good and so is a page long essay that delves into every integral detail. We all come here to read so give us something to chew on! Charts and graphs are popular. So is video. A blend of valid opinion supported with visual/statistical data seems to go over best.

Don't stress about it. Wait until you've got some time and ambition. Internet glory awaits, my friends.
