Choose the first topic for Assigned to cover

And marvel at the incredible power you possess!

Assigned can’t get started in earnest until you, the readers, pick the first series for me. Here’s what you’ve got to choose from:

1. What’s In A Name: A series that examines the stadiums, trophies, bowl games, and other non-human things we have given names to in sports over the years. I’ll cover the history of those names and the people behind the words etched into concrete or marble.

2. The Alternative Sports Almanac: I’ll pick a season and present several stories, players, statistics, and oddities that might not be the first thing you remember from that year. (Or the second or third.)

3. Pointless Advice: An advice column where I answer reader questions about incredibly low-stakes topics like this one.

After a careful and sober round of voting, here’s what the esteemed paid supporters of Assigned selected.

The first edition of What’s In A Name should be up the week of June 24th. Spoiler: it will involve the highly uncontroversial restaurant chain Hooters.
