It was not by mistake that my first ever post for Profootballtalk.com this morning was about Pierre Thomas. Like the first snap of training camp, you want to make a statement. (My statement, apparently, is that I like Pierre Thomas. But you knew that.)

In case you missed the news this week, PFT joined NBCSports.com this week as part of a wide-ranging partnership. It will officially make the jump in July.

I was hired by Rotoworld during the 2003 season, and quickly realized Mike Florio's website was one of the best tools to help me do my job, plus it motivated me to never stop working because he didn't. (The site looked like this back then.) I've read it every day since, and eventually we started providing their Fantasy Mill sometime after NBC purchased our site. Pancake Blocks essentially is their Fantasy Mill, with some bells and whistles attached.

Now I'll get the chance to contribute to the main site, which is a thrill. (I would say honor, but somehow the word doesn't seem right next to Turd Watch.)

A lot of you have emailed wondering if this will change Rotoworld's coverage. The answer is no, although it will bring some of Florio's rabid readers through the doors of NBCSports.com and by extension, Rotoworld. That's good for everyone, except for the people who still try to keep Rotoworld a secret.

Our coverage won't be any different, and I'll still be contributing the same columns, videos, and rankings to Rotoworld and Pancake Blocks. Back in a few minutes with something you actually care about - football.
