Dear Bleacher Report

Dear Bleacher Report,

I, along with many other people, was really hoping to win a free Bleacher Report T-Shirt.

I picked the St. Joseph’s Hawks for my entry into the Bracketbreaker Challenge. I was wishing for a couple of upsets, and in the end an awesome Bleacher Report T-Shirt. But unfortunately for me, the Hawks lost in their first round game to Oklahoma, 72-64.

As I sat watching the game slip away from the Hawks, I was very disappointed. Not because I am a St. Joseph’s fan, but because I wouldn’t be able to have a Bleacher Report shirt.

I was sad, but not shocked. In my opinion picking St. Joe’s was a sort of a stretch but I wanted to go with a team that could win and also a team that I liked.

Writing about a team such as Villanova or Davidson seemed to be a popular and obviously a smart choice. Those writers that picked these teams made a smart bet. They will be receiving their free T-Shirt in the mail within the next couple of weeks.

According to Trey Bradley’s article titled Bracketbreaker Challenge: The Entries, only 18 people chose either Villanova, Davidson, or West Virginia. Which means only 18 people will receive a free T-Shirt.

This is my wish for Bleacher Report…

Please make these T-Shirts available to the other writers! Now don’t get me wrong here. I do not want a FREE shirt, but I would be willing to pay for a Bleacher Report shirt.

This website is an awesome opportunity for people like me to not only practice their sports-writing skills, but it also gives people a free opportunity to get noticed and recognized. This Web site has been a great tool for me to become a better writer for not only my school newspaper, but also for (hopefully) my future profession.

For me, a T-Shirt that represents Bleacher Report would be great. I would like to give recognition to an amazing Web site that has some great writers and also a lot of non-writers that just read the articles.

By wearing the T-Shirt, I would be able to give free advertising for the Web site. What better way for a company on a budget to get noticed than to have a bunch of people walking around with their Web site’s name on it?

Bleacher Report would be smart to make these T-Shirts available to the public!

Trust me, they would be a big seller!

Thanks,

Jake Widowski
