I'm a 21 year old living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by way of Texas. I am in the process of fulfilling my dream as a sports journalist. I don't believe there is a better job out there. This is the one area where you can combine your passion for the sport along with your knowledge and share it with other fanatics. So much of the sport is driven by the fans and it is great to be able to interact and communicate with others who love the game as much as I do.

I am a fan of all sports. While it is a strange duo, my two favorite football teams are the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers. Being born in Texas it is no surprise that I would become a Cowboys fan, and I have never been able to let the team go. I have also become a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers after living here for many years and seeing the unbelievable way that the city embraces the team. It really is a great thing to experience. Apart from football, I am a huge fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team and the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball squad. With there not being a professional basketball team in "The 'Burgh," Cleveland is one of the closest cities and with a star like LeBron James how could the team not excite you?!

One of the biggest depressions I've been involved with as a fan is the Pittsburgh Pirates. I've loved the team since the Jay Bell, Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla days, but the team has never really returned to glory. It's looking up though!

Apart from the mainstream sports, I can't get enough of mixed martial arts. Whether it is the UFC, WEC, Affliction, StrikeForce, or DREAM... I am always watching and I am telling you all to do the same!

I look forward to sharing with all of you and if you would ever like to get in contact feel free to reach me at joshsanchez@gmail.com, just please reference Bleacher Report in the subject.

    What up everyone? I wrote an article about the changes here on B/R over the last couple of months, and about some of the things that we used to have, that we don't anymore. If you could, check it out.

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/261261-dear-bleacher-report-please-bring-back-the-old-format

    As I have said in the past, many times, I am not on here for AOTD votes, but I believe that if enough of you give me your AOTD vote, then maybe the higher ups will bring back some of the things that are gone.

    Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.

    SEC media policy makes it hard on fans, freelance journalists (of which many B/R writers are both). Thoughts?

    There is a new Steelers writer on bleacher. His name is Jason, and he is pretty good. You should check out his first article.
