The Detroit Lions are looking to put together a winning team for the 2013 season and I want to do the same thing here at SideLion Report. We didn’t take a step back in 2012 but we take the same “always looking to improve” philosophy. That means there is always room for talented writers looking for an outlet to share their thoughts and opinions about the Lions, NFC North and the NFL.

Whether you’re a hardcore football fan looking for a hobby or have aspirations of making sport writing a career, SideLion Report is looking to give you a chance. At this time we are specifically looking for people who can do at least one of the following…

• Cover breaking news and offer analysis beyond the obvious facts
• Contribute at least one column in the same time slot each week
• Engage with readers via SLR’s social media accounts

If you’re interested and feel you can meet any of the three bullet points above, fill out an application and specify how you would like to contribute to this site’s success. Accepted writers can be up and running very quickly so don’t delay!

SideLion Report will remain your home for Detroit Lions coverage, but Detroit Jock City provides one easy stop if you’re looking to mix in some Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons, Wolverines and Spartans flavor. Fan of the smaller schools too? Detroit Jock City will give you some of that as well.
