About Yvette »

**Can someone, anyone, please rationalize the Brett Favre situation for me?**

I bleed purple and gold, green and yellow, and Dodger Blue. Sometimes, I bleed them all at once.

I’m a California native who picked up my sports persona at an early age when I hopped on board with the Lakers and Dodgers fan club. I was thrown for a whirl when I found out Los Angeles didn’t have a football team.

In 1995, I found love at first sight when I learned that this green and yellow team in Wisconsin celebrated their football team by wearing a cheese head. I was in fourth grade and I was smitten from the beginning.

They were from Green Bay and they were called the Packers.

(As a side note, though my passion is writing, I'm currently focusing on editing. So if you would like someone to take a look at your article (hell, even if it is just to get another read!) drop me a note. I'd be more than glad to take a look!)

Hello,

I am back after about a ten-day break. I am trying to be a Featured Columnist for the Indiana Hoosiers Football team. Here is my article about the Hoosiers seniors and them trying to improve after last year's 3-9 disappointing season.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/232872-dont-make-mistakes-hoosier-seniors-plan-to-show-what-they-are-worth

Comments would greatly be appreciated.

Hope you enjoy the article.

All the best,
Josh Dhani

Hey there,

My two cousins have recently joined Bleacher Report. One of my cousins have written a pretty good article about Jason Williams and he isn't getting that many reads. I hope you can check his article out. He is recently getting into writing now.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/232433-knicks-dont-sign-jason-williams-a-lot-other-teams-taking-a-bid-for-him

Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks,
Josh Dhani

P.S. Sorry if I haven't checked your article on my BB, I have been real busy. I will check them out soon, though. No hard feelings?
