If You Need Information On Submit Pictures Magazines Then This is The Best Untapped Resource On The Web

Photo submissions?
Looking for some advice from sports/adventure photographers on submitting pictures to magazines.
Do you generally just mail off a selection of prints? Include a bio and info on the photographer and photos (like a press kit)? Check with the publications before submitting? Should photos be sent as prints, slides, or digital images on cd?
Any advice is appreciated.
many mags/newspapers do buy stock photos from other agencies
one site i know is totallyphotos.com
