Neil's Bio
Hello, my name is Neil Powell and I'm a super-charged-sports junkie! When I was 8 years old my friends were watching Bozo the Clown, I was watching "ESPN" with my dad and a bowl of oat meal. I've always loved to write about sports and I have a keen understanding for the intricacies that make them so compelling to follow.
My recent recruiting articles have been linked on CBSsports.com, ballhype.com, digg.com and YahooBuzz.
This is my personal favorite:

There has always been a connection between religion and sports, and Major League Baseball has certainly not been the exception to the rule.
Check out the All-Catholic lineup…the best Catholic names (by position) in MLB history.

Hey,
The turmoil surrounding the 1977 Yankees earned them the nickname of “The Bronx Zoo.” The current 2009 Yankees have an interesting blend of leaders and pranksters, so I decided to create a LITERAL “zoo.”
Check out what animal each Yankee would be reincarnated as in a next life.

Hey,
Chien-Ming Wang collected his 1st win in 379 days. This puts him on pace to reach 300 wins on Oct. 21, 2263. Can it happen? Read why I am not ruling the tall Taiwanese right-hander out quite yet.

Hey,
It’s been a very long time since I have extended an article of mine to the Bulletin Boards of my friends/fans, but this one is filled with the true venom and passion of a frustrated Yankees fan. The days of consistent success are over, and this baseball lifer is blaming Brian Cashman. Read how he has displayed the baseball knowledge of a little leaguer in assembling Yankee teams of the last 7 years.

I would love to hear your feedback on this one. Thanks everyone!

Hey,
Read about a metaphoric but also personalized tale about a cocky Yankees fan realizing the harsh realities and lessons of professional athletics. I would love to hear your opinions.

Hey,
The Yankees have been putrid against Boston this year, especially over a 3-game sweep in Fenway Park. They are returning to the scene of the crime tonight, and this slideshow highlights 5 major reasons why this time around could be very different:

It appears as though Nick Swisher’s Yankees honeymoon is coming to a close, and is being replaced with married life. Smiles are quickly transitioning into expressions of concern. Read about how bad it has gotten for Swish in the Bronx.
