Hey Eric and Aaron,

I’m the host of the Sports Bloggers Live radio show and am leading an effort that may involve Border Battle. Here’s the one-sentence overview … AOL Sports is launching a massive NFL blog in August that will be updated dozens of times daily by dozens of bloggers, all of whom are paid to post.

After searching the blogosphere for the top NFL bloggers, we believe that Border Battle is truly among the best, and would like you to be among this elite group of AOL sports bloggers, ideally as a contributor focusing on the both the Vikings and Packers (each of you would cover your own team). While you’d be posting on AOL just about every day, you would not be precluded from doing what it is you’re already doing on Border Battle. In fact, we encourage you to continue your non-AOL blog and use your AOL work to further build recognition for yourself and your site with other Vikings and Packers fans and within the industry at-large.

I sent you this message as an email a couple days ago I am not sure if you saw it, but I just wanted to confirm that we really want you to be a part of this project. AOL Sports is moving quickly to get this network off the ground, so your response to this email is really appreciated.

Interested? Please contact Mike Diamond, our AOL Sports Blog Recruiter, via email (mikediamond06@aol.com)or phone (703-265-2543) as soon as possible. He is happy to speak with you anytime, and we really hope you’ll take part in this.

All the best,
Jamie
