Depending on how long you continue this dynasty do you plan on updating your writing style to reflect the era?

Thanks for stopping by, sflcat. I'm glad you're enjoying my attempts to write like some of the great sportswriters of the past.

As the dynasty continues, I think you'll find me using less of the colorful metaphors that were common years ago. I hope, however, that I never let my writing become too "blah." I'll certainly do my best to avoid that. There are still a few storytellers left among today's sportswriters, and if I manage to convince anybody that I've come come anywhere close to "copying" their style, I'd be honored.
