As the passion became a career quest, I realized I lost some innocence and spark to my writing. With that being decided upon, my mission has reverted back. I no longer write as a career goal, simply for the love of writing and the love of the sport. Simply a husband, a Dad and a passionate Sox fan who loves to write. I like it better like this.

At the end of the game, the kings and the pawns go in the same box. However, if I have the choice, I'd prefer to be a king.

I hope you enjoy my four picks of the day stories:

Hello all,

I play pretty much every sport but I'm REALLY into MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). I hold an Orange belt right now in MMA and I'm looking to get my Blue this year. I practice Karate Kyokushin, Muay Thai, Boxing, BJJ and Wrestling.

Researching than writing on Bleacher Report helps ensure that I keep up to date on all things MMA and will assist in my goals of becoming a ring announcer and fight commentator in the future.

I've been following sports for a while and have a knack for predicting what the ou...

I am a young and passionate sports fan with a home town loyalty, but a critical and objective take. I have always been a journalist at heart. Being a source of information is a fascinating and addictive experience, and one that I have always been drawn to. I am dedicated to pursuing this as a full time career so I welcome any feedback, criticism, and advice. I love a good debate, but I can't stand when it resorts to name calling. If that's your only method of rebuttal, please don't bother. Thank you all for your support.

Feeling tired and tense.
Work is overwhelming.
Weather is grey and chill.
But London's dome shines on the horizon.

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...

Hey there! I'm Rob Tiongson, a 24-year-old college student/aspiring journalist. I love sports and writing like my life, so what better place to write for than B/R? I'm a huge NASCAR fan, and also a stick-and-ball enthusiast.

Being a Boston, MA native, I cheer on the Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Patriots. However, my favorite sport of all is motorsports. I follow all the major NASCAR series, IndyCar racing, as well as some of the feeder stock car ranks.

From interviewing upcoming stars to breaking down what'll happen next on the asphalt or court, you can count on me to give you quality work fused with some wit and style. Think of my works like a conversation with yours truly, because it's a two-way street when it comes to reading my works. I look forward to your comments and inte...

I am a sophomore at the University of Oregon and I have an unhealthy addiction for sports. The Oakland A's and Major League Baseball are my biggest passions, but for some reason college football and the Ducks are creeping up as a close second. I am double-majoring in Sports Marketing and Public Relations, and am currently interning with San Francisco-based boutique tech PR firm, Vineberg Communications. Inspired by Bill Simmons and the guys from Around the Horn, I am not your typical sports writer. So if you're tired of the typical AP style game-recaps, and want witty, insightful prose about the Oregon Ducks from a college student's point of view, I am your resource. I have my own blog called the The UO Sports Dude, to visit, go to http://uosportsdude.com

Please don't follow me anywhere-I hate being followed. Don't email me either-I have my cat go through the messages first and she doesn't read that fast.

I live in Florida, but I am from New Jersey. However, my teams of interests span the globe.

Except for baseball, I lean towards the college side of the major sports.

What I would love to do on B/R is to write at least one article about evey college basketball team in Division I. My ego tells me I am the most knowledgeable college basketball fan out there that doesn't have a gig.

I've been a fan of WWE for a while now. While I do watch other sports I don't pay close attention to it as much as I do for the WWE. So I will be writing articles that deals with WWE in any way, shape or form. I do watch other wrestling shows every now and then, but don't have the time to watch it every week. But I do read the recaps, especially for TNA.

My all time favorite superstar is Shawn Michaels. Mickie James is my favorite diva.

I love to write and I think I'm a decent writer enough. If you wanna email me at any time, it's wwenation@gmail.com. Twitter is: twitter.com/wwemaniak if you wanna follow me!
