200!: What a Feeling!

Bob Warja recently joined the elite club at Bleacher Report. The "100" article club. I have now hit the 200 mark and it's a great feeling.

Over the past five to six months, I've blotted 200 articles but 200 is special it's not just one more than 199 or one less than 201.

From 1-199, it's been unbelievable. I've brought it all on board. The much heated "round table" discussions, World Football Transfer Updates, predictions, editorials.

I've come across fine writers such as Andrew McNair and Andrew Kneeland.

200, does it indicate double of a century's progress? Does it become easier as you cross the first 100?

Adam Amick, heard of that guy? He's incredible. I'd think the Racing Section on B/R would have died down without him.

Ron Johnson, 283 articles in a year! (B/R's very own Mr Unstoppable) and the likes of John Arvai (320 articles) and Francois Gendron (210 articles) indicate maybe the double century is not special enough.

I thought this was one hell of an opportunity to pay tribute to the best in the network.

Ken Armer and Micheal Whittenberg (who I'm indebted to for introducing the "round table" discussions) are the core of the network which also includes Ryan Alberti and Tim Pollock.

We also have Trey Bradley and Ben Weixlmann (who probably has the fastest century on the network) in the never-ending list of writers who make Bleacher Report so special.

That's done but what about 200?

200: The number of NASCAR races won by Richard Petty.

200: The number of times, Roberto Carlos used to try his free kicks, every morning.

200: The number of seconds it took for David Beckham's sixty yard attempt to end up in the goal.

200: Recently, Michael Phillips did a remarkable thing, finishing the 200-meter butterfly in 1:52.20, only one-tenth a second from his world record.

In the end, I'd like to thank all of you (writers, readers and editors) for all your support and standing by me.

Adios. (Till the next 100, if it ever comes by.)
