MMM Retirement... Looking for Successor

Sorry guys, but I'm going to have to be honest with myself and just accept that I don't have the 2-4 hours every Sunday night to sit write Monday Morning Microscope. I was on the fence when I committed to this at the beginning of the season because of lack of time and now it's just caught up with me. Taking time to add comments to the site is much different than putting together a thoughtful, meaningful column each week - which has become homework instead of a hobby. That minimizes all the enjoyment of writing and if the full effort can't be given, I'm not one for writing something half-ass, so I will retire the column.
Having said that, I was tossing around the idea of one of you "witty, ambitious writers" working with Sean to take over this column. You could even use my format if you wish. My only request is that if you are going to take over what I was doing directly, I'd like to have a say in who would take over to be sure the writer is a good fit. I have a few of you in mind already. I don't want to take too many liberties with Sean's site, so I hope this is okay to do... but if you are interested in tackling this piece in my place, please leave a note in the comment section. If I find a good fit AND Sean okays this "transfer of ownership", he can move your column to the front page each Monday morning or just make you an author.
Sean - Let me know if you have a problem with this and if you do, we'll nix this idea and just drop the column altogether.
I've really enjoyed writing this column and I think it would be a shame to let it go completely. I'll still try to add to the site when I can, but I just can't work on deadlines for hobbies anymore.

Just when I drop that bastard, he starts playing well.
The beginning of the end of the misery
Looking forward to new MMMs.
I really missed them even though it’s almost always rehashing stuff that makes me want to throw up.

I Liked Drew's MMM
That’s a tough act to follow.
I understand the time commitment though. It’s perfectly understandable.
It was 3rd & 7; Delhomme dropped to pass
"Man, I hope, I don't get knocked on my ass"
He felt twisting and clawing, "When will it stop?"
Then SUH ripped his head off, like a bottle of pop!!
Yeah, I'm a Lions fan
How about footstock...
you both have the same passion for stafford….. kind of a love hate thing.

Not fair
I love staff’s talent…I hate his durability…so far.

i dunno
when he’s focused on the team rather than the jackasses he wants to argue with, joshsun is an interesting read.
hey, thanks bro!
DrewsLions was right and I was wrong. Stafford did in fact post a QB rating better than 89.7, he put up a 90.2 rating. I have not been happy about being wrong in so long!
Hey biatch, I swear to god if you start your shit on Schwartz I'm done defending you......lol
I understand where your coming from…….just go easy on this one.
there is nothing to say about Schwartz this week
We all know what happened out there.

Oh, and really sad to see your column go Drew
You did a real good job of it.

I second that HE.
You have the respect of everyone on here Drew. I hope you stick around to comment and FanPost on a regular basis.
Oh, I will...
it’s just become a burden to write a recurring column right now. I did it because I enjoyed it and that enjoyment is gone when it becomes a race against time, etc.
Going to miss the old MMM.
DrewLions has a uncanny perspective on Lions football and I will truly miss his Monday insight.
While there are many great writers on POD, my vote to take over the new MMM is

Just when I need a voice of reason during "Staff-Gate"
you are hanging it up (sigh). Well I certainly understand your reasoning. My posts have come far and between since last X-Mas. Just some selective comments without alot of meat on them is what I am down to. Going to miss it. But at least stop by for a few comments here and there.
