Who We Are?

GUFS was started by three friends, passionate about sports and tired of talking smack to only each other, so GUFS was born. The goal was simple, build a sports blog network full of passionate sports fans with a talent for writing. GUFS is proud to host over 50 teams blogs on our network with over 80 writers all across the US. We provide a platform for new and aspiring sports writers to showcase not only their knowledge of their sport and team but their writing talents as well. Many of our writers come to us straight out of some of the top colleges around the U.S. looking to break into sports writing and we're happy to provide the platform.

What Do We Sell, How Do We Profit?

We sell all the team-related merchandise we can get our hands on, well as long as it comes to us at a fair price for our customers. Currently our product line contains merchandise for MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL.

Also our team blogs offer advertising opportunities targeted around a sport, team or even the geographical region the teams live in. For example a local ticket broker in New England can target their advertising toward all the New England based team blogs for targeted advertising.

What Makes Us Different?

In short our revenue model. Other Sports Blog networks rely on advertising as their main source of revenue, we don't. Additionally the type of content we produce makes us stand out from the rest. We tell all of our writers that we don't want game recaps, instead we want the fans voice to come through loud on all of our blogs. We want the content on our blogs to be somewhere in the middle of ESPN and Deadspin.
