Unless you were going to contribute on a very regular and very serious basis.

Define “very regular” and “very serious.” Oh, and define “paid.”

Very Regular = 3-4 posts a week
Very Serious = every week
Paid = $50 every three months

Interested for Sure!
Sup Dave! Been following the post for a while now and am also interested. I am a former player, home grown of course, and I live behind enemy lines in ATL, GA. What more could you want? Up for the challenge of giving some perspective from a Saints fan behind the lines of Durty Turdville :-).

Dave, I realize this is different topic
but I cant post fanposts. On either of my computers, so I believe it might be related to my account or the website.
The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault. -Ty Cobb

Only if he can do that "suck it" move that Williams would treat us to on occasion.
This isn't about rules, it's about manners. Now there's no rule that says that I cant come over here and fart on your entree. But I don't do it. Why? Because it's not good manners.
OK my 1st topic will be how much John Casey sucks my next will be a 7 part segment on ice cream followed up with a piece on why Aderall should not be on the banned substance list

But I’m not looking to assign stuff. If you want to contribute photoshop work, start photoshopping some stuff.

We could certainly work out an arrangement where you'd be paid in beer
And, of course, you can always drink while you work.

I want to contribute!
I don’t have any examples to submit, but I do have a background in English Education and I read just about every article I can find about the Saints. I’m not sure if you guys already have someone talking about how the media ignores or downplays many of the Saints’ accomplishments, but that’s what I would probably write about! I’m off every other weekend and could contribute according to my work schedule. Oh and I don’t get offended with negative or constructive criticism.
Okay, this is a good lead.
I will contact you. Thank you.

Writing for CSC? Interesting.
Just how much editorial lee-way is there?
For instance, would writing criticisms of particular coaches be:
a) perfectly fine as an example of freedom of expression;
b) frowned upon and subject to editorial makeovers by the head writer; or
c) a bannable offence?

a) perfectly fine as an example of freedom of expression as long as it’s done responsibly and directed toward the actions of said coach, not his character;

Excellent
Although when people’s emotions are running hot (like after a rough playoff loss), people tend to skip the cold, logical and calculated appraisal of someone’s skills and decisions and critique the person instead.
They might be thinking “wow, perhaps the Saints shouldn’t have blitzed there, that decision is questionable” and in their wound-up state say “MAN I HATE THIS COACH HE’S AN IDIOT!!!!!”.

In my experience, if you point out the difference and offer them an opportunity to rectify the comment, they usually do.

I can write stuff like it’s gospel and irrefutable and spend countless hours pounding the subject home while ignoring any and all arguments that do not agree with my point of view and bludgeon any naysayers with a plethora of replies, pre-replies, and . . .

This is what I'm driving now.
Easy to find in the parking lot! Unfortunately, it has the cargo capacity of a bread box.
I wonder how those vintage Suzuki wheels would look on it.

He’s around, sometimes. Mostly at BRB.
His fantastic contribution to the site was unappreciated by most of the commentariat. Which is one of the reasons I ended up never stepping forward to contribute much, alongside a lack of time.
trapped in grammar and calendars.
He needed someone to balance him out. I liked his posts but they were koolaideman one sided. Oh well.
Oh Yeah!!!!
No offense, Jon. I’m sure you’re a very attractive man.

You gotta admit,
that is quite a tool shed.

I’ve thought about wanting to do this before because, while I don’t always comment, I read just about every single post on CSC.

Thanks for the generous offer, Dave. I'm truly flattered.
However, I’m too valuable to this site a peanut gallery drive-by commenter/ranter. Aggravation of coldpizza is payment enough, thank you.
