Alex's Bio

I am a Journalism and Political Science double-major at the University of Connecticut. I am a huge fan of the New York Yankees, the Knicks, the UConn Huskies, and the Oakland Raiders. I love all sports, but even more than that, I love to write about them.

I only recently joined the Bleacher Report, but I wrote some hard-hitting articles in the last year. Check them out and I guarantee you will be satisfied.

Hey Alex,

Decided to have some fun with this. It's a humor piece about Survivor for athletes. I had a blast writing it, and I hope you get a good laugh out of it :)

If you get the time, I'd love to hear what you think. If not, no worries.

As always, really appreciate the support!

Nice job on your website, just checked it out. You should sign up for Google Adsense for free and earnn a few bucks off advertising. Are you by any chance a NBA fan and/or would be interested in helping to promote my NBA fantasy playoffs on FantasySportsMadnss.com on UConn campus to earn some beer $$? Shoot me an email at Len@FantasySportsMadness.com thx
