Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.

Currently a columnist for Top-Fantasy-Football.com.

A current student of Literature and Journalism, (second time around the block for college).

None of this would've been possibly without the community and staff support of Bleacher and their Creatures!

As a Knicks Featured Columnist, I will be making periodical attempts to give fans an inside look at the different aspects of Knicks games. Take a look at what I came up with when Lebron James came to visit.

The Harvard comma is just another name for the series comma. The series comma is the comma that comes before the word "and" in a series. Example: Ryan really hates bananas, lettuce, prunes, and white onions.

The Harvard comma (series comma) is the comma after the word prunes.

Ray, my man!

I plan to do my #32 for Adrian's Project 99 within the next couple of weeks. I have one tennis article ahead of it.

And Rojo really did it up big with that article, didn't he? I'm with you: it was so good, it made you think you were reading something in National Geographic or SI or something. He's one of the best.

HI Ray, how are you?

I see your request on my board for your "Project 99" entry. I will read it soon! (I took #32; guess who I plan to write up? lol)

If you get a second, you simply MUST read this one by Rojo Grande:
