Writer bio

Tom is a former sports writer for the Tampa Tribune. He spent 10 years covering Florida State football, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the PGA Tour. He won two national writing awards from the Golf Writers Association of America.

During his Tribune days, he had personal interviews with Jack Nicklaus, Muhammad Ali, Bear Bryant, Don Shula, and a long list of legendary athletes. During the 1979 Florida State football season, coach Bobby Bowden dubbed Edrington his "personal good-luck charm." It was an incredible season for FSU and culminated with the national championship game in the old Miami Orange Bowl where the Seminoles were defeated by the Barry Switzer-coached Oklahoma squad led by Heismann Trophy winner Billy Sims.

Tom was fortunate to chronicle at least half of J...

Born and raised in upstate New York and northern New Jersey, finding a team to root for wasn't exactly a task. If anything, the area boasted more of an "embarrassment of riches" than any other place in the world. So, I adopted the Yankees, Jets, and Rutgers as my teams, and as you would expect from any mid-20's guy in this area, I take them pretty seriously.

How seriously? Well, let's just say the correlation between my blood pressure and the scoreboard is no coincidence.

I'm a Rutgers alum (New Brunswick campus) and a season ticket holder for football. With the program's awakening over the past few years, it's an exciting time to be around Rutgers Football, and the future looks bright.

I primarily focus my writing here on B/R on Rutgers Football, and I like to t...

I'm your average guy from West Virginia who is devoted to the WVU Mountaineers. I am not a "great" writer by far but sometimes my brain and my fingers get together and act like a bunch of birds going after the last sunflower seed on a snowy January morning. Every now and then they peck out a little something useful.

I am the creator of the website www.thankscoachrod.com, a site dedicated to the terrible way Coach Rich Rodriguez left WVU. However, I never place the whole blame on him.

I hope I can write something to keep ya coming back...

Thanks for checking out Bleacher Report

I'm a creative writing major at SUNY Oswego, and as journalism is no longer my thing, my writing may at times stray from typical journalistic style and end up closer to a creative essay.

I'm the featured columnist for Syracuse football here on Bleacher Report.

Sports and writing are my two passions (as well as the only two things I may at times be considered knowledgeable in), and I'm particularly passionate about my hometown Syracuse Orange. The majority of my other rooting interests are derived from my years following the Orange as well. I follow the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL, the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA and despite their having no connection to Syracuse that I'm aware of, I also love the Boston Red Sox.

You can also follow my rando...

Loyal follower since Mark Fidrych toed the rubber sporting the olde English D, Billy Sims juking defenders out of their cleats and Isiah and the Bad Boys took it to the Celts.

Have also enjoyed boxing and wrestling since the late '70's.

I'm one of the few REAL Rutgers Scarlet Knights fan not born but literally raised "on the Banks of The Old Raritan." The "Banks" are right next to my house.

I never booed Mike Teel. I never stopped rooting for Rutgers when they were 1-5 midway through the season. I never left a game early when they were losing. I KNEW and never lost hope that they would win 6 games straight and make a bowl.

I love playing and writing about all sports, especially football. I will watch any college or pro football game that is on. I'm on the soccer team at my school and currently am trying to get a football team started. I'm hoping to play running back/wide receiver and will help as an offensive coach.

I have been writing sports since 2000, covering the NFL and the Pittsburgh Steelers for the now-defunct Football Network, and for Lindy's online. In recent years, I have blogged about West Virginia football, following the Mountaineers during their 2006 and 2007 seasons, both of which ended with January bowl victories. I really cannot take credit for those wins, but it sure was fun being a part of it.

I have also written two novels, with a 1970s pine-riding college football wideout protagonist in the earlier one, and with the same guy as a loser stockbroker during the go-go years of the '80s in the other.

Hello all who may read this which is probably not to many, but i'll do it anyways. My name is Paul I'm a student in Cincinnati. I love sports, playing and watching. I have been told I know to much about to many sports many times in my life, but what can you do. I love the offseason just as much as the actual season of almost any sports. Nothing like anticipating and speculating whats up next for your team. I personally am more of a fan of collegite sports than Pro. College Football is my love, but college basketball is right behind it. I think thats it for now if you need to know anything else well just let me know!
