About Ian »

Hi I'm Ian O'Brien. I'm a college student. I've been a sports fanatic for as long as I can remember. My favorite teams are the Angels, Packers, Lakers, and USC. I'm really good at remembering facts about sports because I always pay attention to what's going on. I decided to join Bleacher Report after being intrigued by an ad on Facebook. I want to be a sportswriter for a living and do stuff like write articles about latest news on a pro sports team, make predictions for an upcoming season, write an article about an interesting athlete, etc. I think that this would be a terrific reference for my track record when I try to achieve that career. I can save everything I've written and show it to help me get a job as a sportswriter. I also want everybody to know what my opinions are on current events in sports.
