Major Site Update This WeekendSharperIron will go offline Friday, September 17 at 10 AM Central
This is a major site update, but we are not migrating to new software. We expect to be back online by Monday Sept. 20 at the latest—some time Friday PM or Saturday AM is more likely.
Should we answer critics or ignore them? Though critics should not be lumped in with fools too hastily, Proverbs 26:4-5 might be of some help in answering this question. Apparently, sometimes we should not answer fools, but sometimes we should.
The long awaited 2010 Writing Contest restuls are in. There were numerous strong entries this year and we wish we could give awards for many more of them. Many thanks to all of you who contributed articles!
If you’re interested in participating in Fantasy Football this year, email Brian McCrorie directly (bmccrorie … gmail.com - not linking to the email address to avoid spam bots). Interested in managing a team?
There are currently 3 spots left in Brian’s annual league but he can open another league to accommodate demand. The league is hosted on yahoo.com and the live, online draft is scheduled for Monday, August 30th (when all teams will have to be set).

Our 2010 Writing Contest ended over a month ago. So some of you are probably wondering, when will the winners be announced? Well, this is not that announcement!
But it’s coming soon. Several excellent articles were submitted this year, and we’ve already posted a few of them. Our panel of volunteer judges is slowly narrowing the choices down to three winners. We should have the decision nailed down in a couple of weeks.
