Many stories have been written by a number of writers here on Bleacher Report about how they discovered this great website.

Some discovered it through an ad on peer sites like Facebook, while others simply stumbled upon the site randomly. Each person’s story is different, but what is common to all, is that they found Bleacher Report, just as I did—twice!

My story begins about a year ago. I don’t remember the exact time, but I know that I was twelve years old when I first came across a flashy ad that was advertising for something I’d never heard of, called “Bleacher Report.”

I clicked on the ad, and for a couple of days, my life literally changed. That initial experience wasn’t exactly a fun one, though. I’m a huge Mets fan, and when I found this site, I immediately said to myself, “Great, I’ll write about my Mets.”

I then wrote my first article, which you can read here, and felt great about it. That feeling was fleeting, as I was pretty cocky with what I’d written, and knew just enough about everything to piss people off.

I got a lot of feedback on that first article I wrote, and almost none of it was good.

This angered me quite a bit, and I said to myself, “I don’t need this. This site is stupid.” Getting shot down so quickly had disappointed me completely.

I then clicked on the “X” to close the page, and went on with my normal life, forgetting all about Bleacher Report and the negative experience I’d had there. It was only later I came to regret saying it was a stupid site.

For I once again stumbled upon it, as you’ll read on the following page. Well, actually, my brother is the one who stumbled upon it. However, that coincidence changed my life, and I now love B/R.

My first article had become a joke, as anyone who reads it will realize, as the Mets didn’t even win the NL East. In fact, the Mets' biggest rival, the Philadelphia Phillies, went on to win the World Series, as I was left disappointed in my beloved Mets for the second year in a row.

While I hated the fact the Phillies had won a title, I did, however, have to give them respect. Phillies fans rubbed the win in Mets fans’ faces, but they deserved it.

That doesn’t mean I still don’t hate the Phillies, because I do.

Anyway, on to how my brother rediscovered Bleacher Report for me, and how it changed my life.
