A Fond Farewell

When the Front Office Sports Network—later renamed the Fan Huddle Sports Network—began in early 2007, it provided a voice to the average sports fan. Founded to be the premier place for sports media, information, and entertainment on the internet, Fan Huddle was graced by the talent of many different writers and producers over the past half-decade. Now, five years later, Fan Huddle is closing its figurative doors.

Our closing is bittersweet. Although this marks the end of Fan Huddle in a literal sense, our legacy lives on through the many writers who have graced our pages. Fan Huddle writers have gone on to write for many prestigious websites and print publications including the Chicago Tribune, Baseball Prospectus, CBS Sports, Fox Sports, The Los Angeles Times, and more. Furthermore, the accomplishments of the online, independent media industry over the lifespan of Fan Huddle have been dramatic. Bloggers and online publishers have made great strides to gain the acceptance and support of the mainstream media. These reasons, specifically, are why the time has come to call it a day for Fan Huddle. The growth in the online media industry has provided a wide array of options for sports fans to have their voice heard. Fan Huddle’s mission, therefore, remains very much fulfilled.

With that thought, we bid a fond farewell to our readers. On behalf of the entire Fan Huddle team, thank you very much for your many years of readership.

Sincerely,

Brad Stewart
