About

Follow me on Twitter: @TheRealMattKing.

I'm the sports and pop-culture guru for Bleacher Report. I never thought all my useless knowledge about movies, television, music, and sports would ever do me any good, but I have found my place on Bleacher Report.

I officially joined the staff in 2010 working as the Affiliate Marketing Manager. Basically I help get more compelling content than just straight sports articles in front of different websites around the web. It's just as fun as it sounds.

Besides all the work stuff, I'm an enormous Kentucky basketball fan, Appalachian State grad and football fan and just love all other sports in general. I'm also a newly minted A's fan, now that my brother has joined their organization. And, yes, I believe that me now rooting for them will automatically propel them into the playoffs this year.

I also have a job as the resident big man in B/R pickup games. I shoot more than I pass.

    Hey Matt
    I'm a huge fan and love your writing. Bleacherreport, especially your writing, has inspired me to start writing about sports. I considered signing up for bleacherreport but instead decided to try to make my own website. http://bustasports.com/ is the link, and it would mean a ton if you checked it out and gave me some feedback. Feel free to give me positive or negative feedback, either way it means a lot. You can post on my profile or email me at lmssports@hotmail.com
    I also have a couple questions, so do you have a personal email I can reach you at?
    Thanks a lot and a reply would be huge for me.

    Wow. Worst peace of journalism I've seen in a long time. McQueary walked away from a child being raped. Period. How can you break it down any other way? You, sir, are a piece of crap.

    Matt, as a writer for BR myself, one of the first things I was told was to engage with my readers and respond to their comments. You, by your own admission are one of the main "gurus" at BR and your silence in the face of myriad responses to your article declaring McQueary a "victim" is deeply troubling. To say the least, it's rather Orwellian and it calls into question the integrity of BR. My friendly advice to you, even though I vehemently disagree with your position, is that you respond to your detractors and supporters alike.

    "He did what he thought was right"? When is it 'right' to run away when you see an old pervert raping a little boy? The RIGHT thing to do to is to HELP THE BOY and CALL THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY. What is wrong with you and mcqueary that this is not absolutely, 100% obvious?

    I can't imagine what motivated you to post that McQueary drivel. Maybe you are cynically trying to get some sort of notoriety out of taking an absolutely outrageous position, or worse yet, maybe you truly believe that nonsense. I hope you're proud of yourself...
