Here at Stripe Hype we strive to bring you the very best Cincinnati Bengals coverage on the net, and as a member of the Fansided Network, we know we are fully capable of accomplishing that goal.

Part of the mission of the FanSided Network, is to encourage our community of readers to share their opinions and thoughts on their favorite teams. Our writers don’t hold back and we don’t expect our readers to either. We want to give you the best coverage and opinions on your favorite team from the fan perspective that is so often missing from traditional sports media. We believe sports coverage doesn’t have to be dry, boring and without opinion. Interaction between our writers and readers of the site is of the highest priority. We do what we do not just for our love of the game, but to serve you the fans.

In an effort to step up our game, we are expanding our staff here at Stripe Hype to give you more content and a broader perspective! We are currently accepting applications for a new staff writers who can cover anything Bengals/NFL related ranging from:

• Bengals/NFL News
• The NFL Draft
• Player Features and interviews
• Anything NFL-related

And The Opportunity to be Featured on Sports Illustrated’s Website 

Staff writers are expected to submit 1-3 articles per week. These positions are not paid although many of our contributing writers move into paid staff positions as vacancies and opportunities arise. Being a contributing writer for a FanSided blog also offers excellent exposure and a chance to sharpen not only your writing skills but your view of your favorite team. There is tremendous opportunity for growth within FanSided to those who seek it.

If you think you’re up to the task of writing for FanSided’s Cincinnati Bengals site then fill out an application and make sure you mention you want to write for stripehype.com

You will be contacted shortly thereafter, and hopefully the beginning of your sportswriting career will begin. Thanks in advance for applying and for sharing your work.

Thank you and Go Bengals!

If you’ve ever wanted to meet NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and you live in Cincinnati, you’ll have the oppurtunity next month when he comes to town to lead a special session during the 117th Annual National PTA Convention, which is scheduled to take place June 20-23 at the Duke Energy Center.

We pulled this form from the official release on the event:

Please join us in Cincinnati, Ohio, from June 20-23 for the 117th Annual National PTA  Convention and Exhibition. More than 1,000 influential PTA representatives from nearly  25,000 local units will be looking for innovative products and services for their PTAs.  PTA leaders want to implement innovative fundraising programs, improve school and  PTA operations, and enhance student well-being. They are interested in your offerings  and eager to share your information with other leaders and families within their schools.  Do not miss this unique opportunity to present to our highly influential and engaged  audience.

This year, we have planned an exhibit schedule that includes dedicated exhibit time with  opportunities to present your valuable resources to attendees. We are expecting a record  turnout of diverse and influential attendees by offering a wide-range of planned programs,  including four plenary sessions, five workshop tracks, and four general meetings.  Exhibiting at the National PTA Convention is a tremendous opportunity to help PTA  leaders plan for the upcoming school year and help you build a solid base of prospects.  I encourage you to take advantage of our early bird rate by reserving exhibit space  before January 31, 2013.
