Writer bio
I'm a Double Domer with a strong interest for Fighting Irish football. I specialize in the numbers, meaning I track statistics and the schematic chess matches that go on during the games. I also write editorials about whatever piques my interest. Finally, I have my own college football computer ranking system which can be found at http://ClashmoreMike.com where I write.

2 - Erin McLaughlin
Writer bio
I am a lifelong sports fan. Football is my passion. I am originally from Michigan but have lived in Hawaii for 10 years. My teams are all the Detroit teams, especially the Red Wings. I have a unique rooting interest in college football. I love Notre Dame, but I root for Michigan whenever they are not playing Notre Dame. The reason is that I am from Michigan but my Irish Catholic roots outrank where I am from. I love seeing Michigan and Notre Dame players succeed in the NFL. My two favorite Quarterbacks are both named Brady. While Tom Brady is well on his way to a hall of fame career, Brady Quinn needs to find a way to get out of Loserville, I mean Cleveland. The Browns have done nothing but screw him since they drafted him and he needs to be on a team that appreciates his talents.

*A big thank you to all the fans of my work here at B/R. My first AOTD, The True Story of Knute Rockne: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/265043-the-true-story-of-knute-rockne-college-footballs-most-renowned-coach
Being from North Jersey, I have been a Yankees fan since the day I was brought into this world. On the other hand—I am not a Giants fan. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And most importantly.. I am an over-obsessive, subway alumni of the University of Notre Dame.
Happy to be serving as Notre Dame's newest Featured Columnist.
I currently play basketball and am also a single-digit handicap golfer. I'm a fan of all sports, but I pay in extreme attention to College Football and Basketball, the MLB, and the NFL. The reason I joined the site is to ready myself for my journey into a ...

"no longer riding on the merry-go-round...I just had to let it go."
- John Lennon
I admit I used to play the game where I was focused on moving up the ladder at B/R, trying my best to be the top writer and all that. But now I no longer pimp my articles, or look for websites to artificially increase readership, and I'm satisified writing what I want and not some nonsence just to attract reads.
Yep, I spent about a year ranked #1 in MLB and the Cubs, and was ranked as high as #2 overall on the site at one time. These days, I am happy simply contributing to the site and allowing others to take the mantle.
I think I am still the Chicago Cubs community leader, and I know I am a featured columnist for the Cubs and Bears. I have written more than 500 articles, though I ca...

Writer bio
Dave Finocchio is a Founder of Bleacher Report and leads the Content Team.
With his aspirations of realizing a professional ping-pong career nothing more than a distant memory, Dave lives a life of regret and anguish. Some day, he hopes to reopen "Beach, Blanket, Bablyon" at the family business in San Francisco.
If all goes according to plan, Dave will launch extensive radio, billboard, and restroom flier marketing campaigns in Nebraska and Western Iowa to promote the musical. He will leverage his success to raise an army of patrons, and reclaim the Peña Adobe and greater Vacaville in the name of his Spanish ancestors.
Dave's mood is impacted by the performance of the following teams: Notre Dame Football, Notre Dame Basketball, Duke Basketball, San Francisco 49ers, S...

Hi everybody. I recently graduated from the University of Virginia and have been writing sports articles since 2005. Whether it's the Cavalier Daily, thesabre.com, The Fanatic Magazine or www.laxnews.com, I've been around the block. Obviously I bleed orange and blue but I love almost all sports including golf. I recently got the opportunity to become Virginia football community leader so feel free to contact me if you have any ideas. Better yet, write your own Virginia articles and let your voice be heard!

I agree with LJ Burgess. God Bless TW Krems.
I'm a guy who got in football too late to play it in high school or college. But I love it too much to give up, so I intend to follow my dreams and do what the inspirational movies tell you to do. I want to be a great sportswriter on NFL and maybe be on the Hall of Fame Committee and an analyst for ESPN or NFL, I will not give it up no matter what.
I've recently been named a Community Leader for the Dallas Cowboys. I intend to keep that position for quite some time. But, I am not solely a Cowboy writer. I write on multiple subjects, and do a Cowboy piece every few articles.
I like multiple teams b/c of certain players, but I am true blue down to my toenails. I feel like the disappointment of Dallas not doing so well this past season ...

I am a loyal and passionate alumnus of the University of Florida who happens to enjoy writing about the Gators.
I live in Ponte Vedra, FL with my wife Kris and son Jake, and I always welcome comments on my articles. Trust me, I'll let you know my feelings on a subject.
I am my own harshest critic; ask anyone that knows me. If its a rose, I'll smell it. If its a turd, I'll flush it. It's that simple to me.
Go Gators!

Writer bio
I'm 21 and a current college student who loves college football and Boston College football. Also pretty much anything to do with Boston/New England sports.
I go to so many Boston College games I should just become a season ticket holder which might happen real soon.
I'll write a lot about Boston College and the Atlantic Coast Conference. Also I will write stories about teams and conferences throughout college football.
I follow College Football so close its like a second religion to me.
Also I've found some people who comment on articles make baseless ones at best and also make ones toward others that are demeaning and geared to boost their overall personal agenda.
On an other note...when talking about the team/s you support never use "we" or "your&quo...

Writer bio
My name is Zach Beatty, I am 19 years old and go to school @ Slippery Rock University in PA. I live and breathe for Notre Dame Football, and more or less the University itself. I have my opinions, and yes I am that sterotypical Notre Dame Fan. I can't stand those who impose their views on Notre Dame when they can't handle criticism themselves. I believe I am such a huge fan because of the tradition Notre Dame has, and more or less being something that is bigger than you.
