About Anthony »

I was raised in Seattle, Washington, hence the reason those are my favorite teams. Not many people would choose those teams openly, but they're my teams none the less. I recently have graduated from Arizona State University (Fall '08). I have always had a real passion for sports and writing which brings me to this point in my life/career. I hope to continue down this path and become a successful sports writer in the future. If not, I still plan on working in the sports world one way or another. If you have a strong passion for something, it's difficult to ignore it completely. Thankfully, Bleacher Report is a place to put some thoughts out there and get noticed.

I have also recently began writing for a website called Fantasy Phenoms (fantasyphenoms.com). I cover both the NFC and AFC West in regards to the players and their fantasy values both before the draft and throughout the season.

Please check it out and comment with what you think about the rules and predictions so far.

Hey Anthony! I'm re-devoting myself to New England Patriots writing. This is the first in a series, where I'm checking in with all of the different positions on the roster and seeing where the Patriots stand. First up is the offensive line. Your read/feedback would be greatly appreciated!
