Tom, I agree with you that there's not much of a chance at victory today. Still, the Saints are coming in pretty banged up and Drew...

I'm just glad their able bowl eligible. The win was ugly but it is USF so you can be too greedy.

Wow, for a man with your resume and pedigree, it is indeed an honor to have you read my work and become a fan. I had not seen your work until today, and I am now a fan of yours as well. Thank you for becoming a part of Bleacher Report and we hope to see more fantastic things from you in the future!

Yup, USF is Syracuse's first Big East game as well. I'm just hoping it will be a more competitive game than it's been in recent years.

Tom - Thanks for the welcome! You are one of the few that know Oglethorpe, but we are slowly making a name for ourselves! Great school and great golf program! I see you have had a wonderful career in journalism...the chance to cover so much of Jack Nicklaus must have been incredible. I'm just getting into the golf writing world myself, but I'm excited, intriqued, and looking forward to writing more! Any advice/feedback you have is much appreciated.

Best,
Taylor

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. The Sioux nickname situation is a mess right now. I have no idea what's going to happen but it sounds like their trying to reach an agreement with tribe. Yes I do cherish every moment with my dad because you never know what crazy turn life will throw you.

Tom,

I enjoyed you slide show on Lucas and wanted to say thank you for reading my take and commenting, even if you disagree. You response was rational and thoughtful, and I truly appreciate quality comments that don't agree with my take. Too many times people will just spew from the heart with no disregard for what comes out. I wasn't surprised that you have had an extensive career covering the PGA, considering the passion that I could feel in your comment. Hopefully I will be lucky enough to cover an Open in the future and talk to 1/10th of the great athletes that you have. I look forward to reading your work in the future. Thanks again. (Sorry, but the only thing I can't support is your alliance with ECU!! -- I'm playing baseball at UNC next year, that's the only reason!)

Thank you so much Tom, your words really mean a lot to me. I'm absolutely flattered to know that such an established & talented writer, found my work worthy of such high praise. It was indeed a straight from the heart kind of a thing, the words just flowed, I knew it was something special. The AOTD award, yes, feels good. But the best thing about it, was to know that people could really relate to it. I got a lot of comments/messages saying how they could identify with a certain instance in it or the other. That alone made my day!

Thanks again, have a great week ahead. Keep in touch my friend. Take care.

Tom, it's always a pleasure to meet a fellow Navy Brat! Small world... I spent three years in McLean and my sis is a fellow Highlander alumnus as well!

I would love to chat sometime about your experiences in journalism. As I am just re-entering the field, I think it's important to try and pull as much from other writers as possible. I always try to keep an active student mentality and learn from everyone - particularly an experienced vet such as yourself, so let me know...

Cheers!

The Glazers really are the mystery men of Manchester. There was a massive furore when they arrived in 2005 as the club felt they had their soul ripped from them. You rarely see a sighting on TV and if you do it is of Joel Glazer. I don't have the finances on me but i would say Manchester Utd and Real Madrid are comfortably the two biggest clubs in the world in terms of gate receipts, revenue and merchandise although Chelsea are catching up.

The Glazers keep a very low profile. Coincidentally Randy Lerner who i think is abusmal as head of the Browns is doing a fantastic jub with mid level EPL team Aston Villa. Hope that helps.
