We're in the 2nd day of the campaign to save OSM and the outpouring has been tremendous. We've literally had a 400% increase in the number of comments that we normally receive. And the Smusers have taken notice. It was determined scientifically today that:
Mike Mussina is not a Hall of Famer
Biff has a man crush on Jason Statham
Vodka goes well with IBC root beer
The only entity that tortures Jets fans more than the Jets is Twitter
Steve Coogan loves www.originalsportsmusings.blogspot.com
And Flo from the Progressive commercials is hotter than Kelly Ripa
Please, keep the comments coming. Only your support can save us. Good luck. We're all counting on you.

An Open Letter to Anonymous
Dear Anonymous,
First, we here at OSM would like to thank you for being one of the few souls brave enough to use the comment boards and leave us your opinion on the site. Literally dozens of people visit our web site each day, read its content, and go home without giving anything back. But not you. You let us know what you think.
Unfortunately, everything you post seems to be negative. There are several schools of thought on this. One says that it doesn't matter, any reaction is a good reaction. It's not time to repackage a wrestler when he's getting booed, it's time to repackage him when the crowd doesn't even care enough to boo. One says that we should ignore negative comments. After all, some people are just negative. But one says that if your comments are negative, we must not be living up to your expectations.
That's the school we're following here. What do you want to see here at OSM? Politics? Comedy? Shots of Steve Marino wearing a wool cap at the Open? A return of "Get to know a Muser?" Maybe a movie review. Maybe you'd like to be in the inside jokes that fueled the creation of OSM in the first place.
Atreyu!!!!
Falcor!!!!!
Agreed.
Please, let us know what we need to do for your support. It could be the end for OSM. The Nothing consumes more of us by the day. Only you, the Earth Child, can give us a new name and save us. Please Bastian, save OSM. Say my name.

The End of OSM?
Loyal readers, the end may be near. The man who owns http://www.originalsportsmusings.blogspot.com/ has threatened to shut it down. Apparently, the site has not performed to his expectations, has not generated the cash flow that he predicted and has drawn criticism from the "media elite." We could be down to our final days. Our future could be more bleak than the LA Clippers, Washington Nationals and the New York Knicks combined. Unless you help.
Starting today, the Hat is asking for your assistance. Please, use the comments board to send as many messages as you can to support us. Without you, OSM may very well be shut down by this time next week. That means no OSM gathering in March, no more pictures of women in swimsuits, and worst of all, no where else for Mets fans to complain that their team doesn't love them. So please, give till hurts. Save OSM.
The Return of Van de Velde
Amazingly, 10 years after his monumental collapse at Carnoustie, Jean Van de Velde has been sighted once more. Holding a 3 stroke lead on the final hole of the tournament, Van de Velde decided to try and reach the green in 2 with 247 yards remaining on this par 5 from the rough. He came up short and ended up in the water on his first attempt. Then he amazingly went for the green again with the same result. Undeterred, he tried again, and then a 4th time, each with the same result. He finally ended the hole with a 15, 10 over par, and surrendered the lead to little known Hank Henry, who claimed the tournament with a score of +1.
