I'm Alex, I'm from London, and I have a job as a journalist. About insurance. If there's anything that can drive the person truly mad, it's years of writing about insurance. Trust me. I know.
But my biggest love is sports. In the UK I love my soccer teams, but I have my big American passions: baseball and football. Sure, I can deal with the odd NBA game and March Madness, as well as a bit of the NFL, but give me Ken Griffey's swing and a Penn State White Out any day of the week.
So here I am. I have a blog - The View From North America - http://viewfromnorthamerica.blogspot.com that I hope you'll look at at some point.
Oh, and I also have a column on the UK's biggest commercial website, Sky Sports. Here's the link: http://www.skysports.com/opinion/0,25219,16560,00.html

I'm a recently-graduated alumnus of Indiana University, with a degree in journalism and a double major in political science.

Sports reporting is what I had planned to do with said degree -- the economy had other ideas. So for the time being, I'm just counting down the days until the government starts adding me to the 8 1/2 percent and working as hard as I can to change that.

I spent last summer interning for MLB.com covering the Washington Nationals in D.C., and I covered the IU men's basketball team for the Indiana Daily Student during the 2008-2009 season. During my time on the sports desk there, I also covered IU women's basketball and baseball, and ran the desk as an editor twice. I was editor-in-chief for one summer too, since you can never have too many ulcers.

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...

I love the opportunities Bleacher Report brings me, and I love representing one of the greatest colleges in the United States of America even more. I have been a Jayhawk as long as I can remember and will always be a Jayhawk no matter what.

Pardon the cliche, but nothing would please me more than getting paid to watch sports. I would also like to be a missionary at some point, and maybe teach or coach a subject or sport at a grade-school level.

Outside of sports, I love my family, eating (chicken, pasta, and chocolate), God, cartoons, and a wonderful blond-haired nursing major by the name of Heather.

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.

I just recently received my Masters degree form Cal State Northridge and am considering the pursuit of my PHD in social studies/history. Along the way, I have developed a passion for USC football, which I have followed for more than twenty years. In a somewhat less myopic state of mind, I also follow all things college football and most sports in general. My other passion is politics and I am very involved in following the day to day workings of the Washington DC movers and shakers. Now single after my ex-fiance got smart, I have decided that my next relationship will be with a woman who matches my interests or can share me with the things I love. In the meantime, I will get along following the things that make me happy.

Growing up in college football hotbed Oklahoma in the '80s in a home split along Bedlam lines, Allen Kenney's pro-OU dad got to him first. Despite lighting out for school in the college football wasteland of the Northeast at the age of 18, his passion for the game never waned. After graduating from Villanova University in 2001, Allen bumped around the country for a bit before settling temporarily in Chicago to complete a master's degree in journalism from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. Since then, he has worked as a writer and investigative reporter in Washington, D.C., and recently completed a part-time MBA program at The George Washington University School of Business.

A sportswriter is neither a homer nor a fan. Instead, a sportswriter is a fan of the game, a fan of the sport he or she is covering. Though we might have favorite teams that we root for, when it comes to reporting, we call them as we see them.

We heap praise or lay blame whenever or wherever we feel it is justified. Even our favorite team’s most hated adversary can receive our profound admiration. And our team’s most beloved player or coach can be the subject of our admonition.

I am a sportswriter. It’s as plain and simple as that. I have no problem calling out the players and coaches that I admire when I feel their actions warrant it. But the game itself remains beyond reproach.

In addition to sportswriting, I have been a screenwriter, a media writer and an educator. A...

I have two great passions in my life: My family and Georgia Bulldog football. In the "offseason", between January and August, I entertain myself with things like Braves baseball, national signing day, and the NFL Draft. However, it's all just a way to kill time until I can watch football again; there is no sport greater in my opinion. Go Dawgs!!!

I am a lifelong sports fan, especially college football and basketball. I am a writer for titletownfl.com and fireoleary.com I also enjoy NASCAR, the NBA, MLB and the NFL.

I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida. I believed the lie that a college degree would open doors. Little did I know it was the door to the poor house. Oh well. Just wait until the try and collect on those student loans. LOL.

I am thankful that I grew up when I did. I lived through the hard times of being a fan of the Gators. And I am now enjoying the good times. And hopefully I am young enough to enjoy living in the past when this era is a couple of decades old. My kids are going to be spoiled. They've never known UF to not be a dominant program.

Basically I'm just a guy that loves reading, writing and talking about just any sport, bowling, tennis, golf, NFL, College anything, NBA, Olympics, Major League Baseball, though I still can't forget the 1994 strike.

I am a fourth year student at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication as a Broadcast Journalism major. I have been involved in sports for my entire life.

As a child, listening and learning from my father, and then playing as soon as I could walk and run - Little League, AYSO, and Club Soccer throughout California. As I grew, I added football and basketball to the mix, until entering high school where I dedicated all my efforts and focused on football.

I was an undersized blocking and goal line tight end who also doubled as a defensive linemen and linebacker, standing at a meager 6'2', 231 pounds - a throwback to the old days of football. My dad would have been proud to see that.

Since then, I have spent a lot of time around college football. As a memb...

My love of the game came from watching Monday night football with my dad and going to Bama games during the end of the Bryant era when my older sister was at Alabama. I played high school football myself and wanted to play in college but wasn't recruited. I enrolled at Alabama at only 17 years old in 1984 and was still developing physically. I decided to walk on the football team once but got very ill before winter training and had to drop out. I started playing rugby for Alabama that fall to get into shape for another shot but wound up getting seriously injured doing that so at that point I had to just stick to the books and be a fan.

Today I make my living as a computer programmer and live in Argo Alabama.
