Free Agent Acquisition for the Vent

Over the next several weeks I will be taking steps toward expanding on what I'm trying to do with the Vent. To start, after some sound advice from another sports blogger, I will be adding more writers to contribute to the site.

The first addition to the Vent team will be none other then my good friend and college roomie Bill Palka.

Bill is a fellow New Yorker who has a passion for sports and writing. He is currently enrolled in the Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse University, where he studies journalism.

Although still months away from graduating, Bill has already built himself an impressive resume. He has previously interned at ABC, currently interns in the sports department at the Syracuse Post Standard, and writes a sports column for the school paper the Daily Orange as well.

Bill will mostly focus on writing stories involving the Mets, Giants, and other New York sports related pieces of interest.

This was a huge free agent signing for the Vent, and I'm thrilled to have Bill on board. I'm sure you will all appreciate his informed insights and opinions.
