Posted in Quotes

After listening to Manning Monday night, after listening to owner Jim Irsay characterize Manning Thursday as "a politician" who should keep his concerns "in house," there's no other conclusion to be reached by a sane, sober human being: Manning's days in Indianapolis are over, and they have been over for quite some time. ~ Bob Kravitz of the Indy Star

As Adam Schefter pointed out, Peyton Manning will be this off-season’s Brett Favre/lockout.

Welcome to the new Cippin on Sports!

If you have been to the website in the past couple weeks or so you have noticed it looks a lot different. In this post I will attempt to explain to you the changes made at Cippin on Sports and the direction I am looking to go in the future.

The most obvious change is to the theme. I upgraded to a new theme (Black Sakura) and need to thank their people who did a great job in assisting me in installing and activating the theme.

The theme is very customizable (most of that will come later) and it comes with the WooThemes Tumblog plugin that creates Tumblr-like post types. Now I can easily post pictures, videos, quotes, links with minimal effort. I have started to post a few of these and from here on out that is how the majority of the posting will be. There will still be an occasional longer type post, but not as much as you have come to expect.

The site will be more about curating content than creating content. In today’s world we’re all busy. We’re all in a rush. Not many of us have the time to site down and read a couple thousand word long article. We want our content quick and easy. That’s where I come in. At Cippin on Sports, I will search through all of the content out there and bring you the best of the best. You will see the best videos, pictures, quotes, and links from the web with an occasional original article.

I feel that this setup will be both beneficial to you and me and I hope you enjoy the new site. If you have any questions feel free to email me at chrismcipriano@gmail.com and keep coming back because there is still more to come.
