About Dave »

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.

Got a new article out, my first slideshow! Hope you take a look. It is on who I think the NFL ten best "game changing" players are today.

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.
