Ed's Bio

Veteran sportscaster, ESPN, FOX Sports, CN8, ABC Radio and plenty more. Have been lucky enough to attend just about every championship game or series held in American sport. This also means meeting my share of athletes and those connected with athletics, thus allowing me to share their experiences and learn more about what makes them tick. Never really cared to be one of those reporters who can quote stats all day long, rather spend more time on issues and what happens under the surface.

Ed Writes About

The Short List What Ed thinks about sport's most pressing questions

  • Favorite Athletes

    Muhammad Ali, Jeff Burton, Dan Marino, and every other athlete who has something to say during an interview other than "you know."

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Diehard Mets fan and always watching great college football.

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Being in the locker room and doing interviews with the Boston Red Sox in their 1st World Series title to break the so-called and completely non-existent curse.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Too many to mention, been to every Title series in almost every sport. Might have to be the "Hail Flutie" pass between BC and Miami.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    The 56 game hitting streak and the Celtics run of championships. Never happen.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Depends on what you're talking about. Ruth changed the sport forever, Willie had a style unlike no other. Until he ruined the memory with that awful Mets stint.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Joe Montana, without a doubt. Again, Unitas changed the sport forever, but there is no QB who had the vision of Montana.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Seriously? Maradona was a flash in the global pan. Pele has no peer.

  • Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

    The best football is played in the SEC. The ACC may be the most competitive, and the Pac-10 is the most overrated.

  1. Much has been written about the Steelers, the 1970s, and their use of steroids. The current public perception is the Steelers began and glamorized the use of roids in the 70s. Read my article to find out who one man, with 4 NFL teams, spread the use of steroids throughout the NFL, beginning in 1963, and see just how pervasive roid usage was by the time the Steelers began their decade of dominance.

  8. Ed...it's time to come back and write. Let's get it on, B/R is growing up.

  9. Hey Ed—this is Alexander Freund, Bleacher Report's Content and Community Director.

    Heck of a debate you started there...excellent work unpacking these issues and keeping the discussion on course. You raise a very troubling subject that clearly needs to be talked about at length and simply hasn't gotten the media attention it warrants, sadly, until now.

    I'm glad you and the rest of our Community took the lead on this front today, given the recent tragedy at the Derby. Let's hope the horse racing industry cleans their act up.

    Just felt it was time I dropped you a note—it's a real pleasure having you aboard as a member of our site. Keep the great stuff coming and make sure to let me know if you have any questions or would like to become further involved in the Community.

    All the best,
    Zander

  10. Ed, I know exactly what sarcasm is and I use it quite a lot. In fact, I use it in everyday life. That is just who I am. You might think that I am an idiot but think again. If you can't handle a comment on an article that you post you shouldn't have written it in the first place.

  11. Sorry, didn't see your comment on my board before I posted the McAdam quote. You'll have to ask him about it when he does his thing for your web site. :)

    -Sean

  12. One more thing about Buckner, from Sean McAdam:

    "The decision to invite Bill Buckner to throw out the first pitch was similarly misguided, or at the very least, ill-timed.

    If the Sox were looking for closure with Buckner, the time to achieve that would have been during the 2005 ceremony, when the Sox were looking to put to rest all the disappointments and close calls that haunted the franchise for decades.

    Moreover, the invite wrongfully assumed that Buckner and Red Sox fans still had some unresolved issues to resolve. In point of fact, fans had already offered absolution for his Game Six error on Opening Day of 1990, when Buckner returned for a second stint with the Sox and was welcomed with a long ovation.

    To think that Buckner was, until Tuesday, regarded by Sox fans as some sort of villain is to display an ignorance of the very fans they otherwise venerate. Talk about a tin ear. "

    Notice the "long ovation" comment......
