Dave's Bio

I'm a sportswriter who loves to do what he does. I love baseball above all else and I'd like to think I'm a pretty good guy. Aside from sitting down at a bar to talk sports and have a few beers with my friends, writing is what I do best.

If you like my stuff and would like to see any of my previous work, you can check out my résumé and full portfolio at www.DaveFultz.com.

Thanks very much for the edits and the nice comments. I really appreciate it. When I don't get any comments it kind of makes me tired of writing. Also thanks for posting the machida picture for me.

Thank you for your edit and your feedback.

A couple of the edits you made actually reverted to what I had written initially, so I guess you broke the tie.

However, I think having "Baltimore" before "Ravens" in the...third question, I think...is important, because it was the first time I mentioned the team in the article (and the last). Yes, just about everyone who has watched two professional football games in recent years know the Ravens reside in Baltimore, but I find it important to use both city and mascot the first time the team is mentioned. I broke my own rule in the same article (with the Browns), but I mentioned "Cleveland" in the very next thought.

I'll leave it for now, but someone might change it back.

Yo Dave, thanks for those edits.

I can't believe you think there was bias in there ;-)

Appreciate the effort and come back any time.
