Matt's Bio

Hey everyone.

I'm a sportswriter living in the bay area where I do things like hang out with my fiancee, watch sports, and go sing karaoke. I'm a huge UK fan and I'm already prepared to celebrate our 2010 National Title. I love B/R and I'm looking forward to writing more and getting to know the personalities on the site.

Also, thank you to everyone who has commented on my articles. I really appreciate your feedback and support.

Heya Matt, I really enjoy reading your top 10s.

I've just posted a new list, "If athletes were items around the house".

We witnessed an absolutely eventful US Open this time, dotted with numerous incidents. Here's a pictorial compilation of all those moments in the singles draw which stood out and caught our attention during those 15 days.

I've already left multiple comments, but I cannot stress enough how much I loved your little league movie moments article. It caused me to do some research and discovered their were SIX Air Bud movies. You seemed pretty disgusted by the end of "Golden Receiver" (which you have to admit is a brilliant title), were you able to get through all of them?

I really don't like to pimp articles, but since this isn't Pro Wrestling, I figured those outside the WC might not see it. Hope you enjoy:
