About

Why, hello there!

My name is Monty Heldt. I am a Journalist and Syndicated Sports Writer from Edmonton Alberta. My interests vary a lot, but I prefer to write about MMA, MLB, the NFL, and the NHL. I am honing my skills to someday write a novel, and appreciate the feedback. I consider it an honor to have my work posted alongside some of the best sports writers you have never heard of.

Bleacher Report has been a great forum for some of my work, and I appreciate it. Good to meet all of you. Enjoy!

My work can be a little off beat, and sometimes you have to read between the lines a little, but my commentary can occasionally rock the foundations of the biggest Organizations out there. Do feel free to share it if you like it.

    I haven't pimped an article in awhile, but the silence is deafening, so here I go again.

    I think that the Strasburg negotiations warrant a look at something that MLB should have adopted a long time ago. I'd like to know if you agree.
