Michael Blouse of lehighvalleylive.com did a column on my good friend Rod Frisco, who left the Harrisburg Patriot-News after 25 years of covering wrestling. Rod is the most knowledgable wrestling writer I ever met and a fantastic writer. Thought you might enjoy the read:

His business card describes him as an "expert" -- and he is indeed. Rodney "Rod" Frisco, the retired sportswriter from The Patriot-News of Harrisburg, is the foremost authority on scholastic sports in Pennsylvania.

Frisco's sports specialties while working for 25 years at the Patriot were football, wrestling and track and field. But the 52-year-old father of teenage triplets recently decided, with the decline of newspapers and advancement of online communication, it's time to try something else. So, Frisco launched rodfrisco.com, a site devoted to each and every high school sport statewide.

His site features fresh daily content, including frequent opinion pieces called the "Daily Rant." Though still in the early stages, rodfrisco.com will soon be THE place to find facts, figures and records for all scholastic sports throughout the Keystone State, and is already a very worthwhile site. It also includes "The Ticker," which provides links to featured stories from around the state in various sports. Frisco, who hosts weekly live chats, said he is currently averaging about 1,000 pageviews per day. So check it out.

And not only is Rodney (I'm the only one, besides maybe his wife Debra on certain occasions, who calls him Rodney) a Hall of Fame sports reporter, he is also one of the nicest, funniest people I've met in this business filled with lunatics and hangers-on. Rodney took a chance, and hopefully it pays off.

This promotional piece for Mr. Frisco, aka "The Round Mound of Takedown" (wrestling is his favorite sport), is now officially complete.
