Writer bio

I am a 22-year old who recently graduated from the University of Dayton, enjoying this journey on the so called "job hunt" as I look to find work related to my interest in sports.

While at Dayton, I joined the staff at the school's radio station and co-hosted a weekly talk show while broadcasting a few of the basketball and soccer games.

I am currently a Featured Columnist for the Cincinnati Bengals here at Bleacher Report and one of the team's Community Leaders. I am fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to write about them and will do my best to provide some of the best content for the Bengals on the internet.

Along with Bleacher Report, my work can be found on a few other sites:

Writer bio

The name is Mike Gurnis, i'm 18, and a Sophomore at St. John's University in Queens, NY. I originally hail from Vernon, NJ, which is where I still reside today. I'm a die-hard New York Jets and Yankees fan, i'm a New Jersey Devils fan, and I'm a Knick fan (when they're good....). My life is Sports, which is why i'm a Journalism major at St. John's, and hopefully that will parlay into a Sports Journalism career in the future.

Writer bio

*** DUE TO LOADS OF SCHOOLWORK AND MY CONQUEST TO START A SPORTS WEBSITE (NOT A BLOG), I WILL NOT GET THE CHANCE TO WRITE AS MUCH AS I PREVIOUSLY HAVE OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, HOWEVER, I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN DO TO WRITE ABOUT WHAT THE YANKEES DO IN THE PLAYOFFS***

Born and raised a Yankee fan, Sam was raised during a dark period of Yankee history. Throughout Sam's childhood, the team would win just 95 games a year and make the playoffs routinely, but would simply never win the world series. He was also raised a Jets fan (that speaks for itself), and considers himself fortunate to be able to say he has a stronger arm than the former QB of the Jets (here's a hint, his name isn't Brett Favre). Though his unathleticism and pudgy build stopped him from playing the game, Sam simply co...

I am also a huge Ohio State Buckeye fan, I am also a fan of The Atlanta Braves, and The Cincinnati Bengals. I only recently began writing articles at the Bleacher Report, I have been reading books on Grammer and trying to improve my spelling, so hopefully my writing skills will improve. I write here at the B/R just to see if I can get people discussing and/or arguing about my articles. If you do I will be satisfied.

Ramone  Brown

Writer bio

I would call myself a serious die-hard-Raider-fan and a mild fair weathered Golden State Warrior, San Jose Shark, Oakland A's and SanFrancisco Giant fan. I have been to a few 49er games as well but I would not call myself a fan. In the past I have been known to jump on the Sacramento King bandwagon come post season but as of late with neither the Kings or Warriors making the playoffs I'm limited to rooting against the lakers.

I mainly write opinionated and/or speculative articles, Mainly about the Raiders but I will ocassionally write about other teams.

Though I don't always agree with him I will defend Al Davis, especially from uninformed "trolls" who really have no idea what they are talking about.

Opinions are like assholes everyone has em, and I have alot....Opi...

Writer bio

My name is Cory Holibaugh and a senior at Cuyahoga Falls High School in Northeast Ohio right outside of Akron. My passion use to be just playing sports (baseball), and I still love to play them, but I also love writing. More about sports, but writing in general.

At one point and for awhile I was ranked as the number one writer for the Cleveland Browns for this website. The rankings haven't been up for some time and I don't write as often as I use to, so I don't know where I stand but it doesn't bother me.

I learn from every article I read and every comment I receive, as well as every article I write and comment I post. I watch SportsCenter (and other sports shows) practically everyday and just soak everything I can in. Some kids at my school come up to me and ask me what is going...

Writer bio

I don't know how these things are really supposed to go, but I'll give it the old college try. I grew up in Massachusetts, south of Boston. (Not to be confused with South Boston, although everyone always does) I went to school at Northeastern before transfering to The George Washington University, where I graduated in 2009 with a B.A. in Journalism. That's the where.

The when, why, and how are a little harder. I've always loved sports, for as long as I can remember, and the writing thing has just sort of happened as I got older. But looking back, it seems like the most natural progression in the world.

I grew up reading about and watching sports. The horn to end the second period of Bruins games was my bedtime for about as long as I had one. I can still remember my first game at ...

Born and raised in Queens and I've been going to Mets games at Shea since I was 6 years old.

Ryan Michael

19 - Ryan Michael

 

Writer bio

My name is Ryan Michael. I am a 21-year old college student who is aspiring to one day become a successful sports writer. My primary areas of expertise are the NFL and the WWE although I do have a great appreciation for most sports.

I'm engaged to the most amazing girl in the world and my best friend. She helps to keep me both inspired and motivated while always lending her love and support.

I've done a little bit of radio broadcasting for our local high school basketball games but have yet to follow up in that particular area of sports coverage. My true interests reside within sports writing due to the venue and format it provides to gain both exposure and appreciation.

I am a die-hard fan of the Indianapolis Colts which you will notice is typically my primary source of materi...

There is a new website from the land of Vegas. It's called " Vegas Rich Speaks Out" I'm so technology challenged it hurts just thinking about it . Thank goodness to my pal "Dr. Phil" Kohen. I tried to link it here but of course that was simply way too difficult for me to do. If you have some interest please check it out. Suggestions and criticisms are always welcome.
www.vegasrichspeaksout.blogspot.com

I have decided to change my name for the Bleacher Report. I will now be known as "Vegas Rich". Of course I am Vegas poor but that doesn't have as good a ring to it.

I am without a doubt the biggest Mets fan in Las Vegas Nevada. Been with them from the beginning with great moments and some of the worst baseball ever played. I married a girl from South...
