About Sterling »

Been on Bleacher Report for about four months now and I've really seen my style improve and develop over that time frame. Hoping this will be the site that gets me recognized into journalism status like some of my fellow friends on this site. I've had two articles posted on Sports illustrated which, at this point is a great achievement for myself.

Spiars' Quick Picks Record- 37-38-1 Ouch :(

Unofficial Picks Record- 47-44-1 Lame :(

Next Fight Picks- 0-0

You can also find me on http://www.ring-rap.com/ ...... in the MMA section, and maybe, just maybe in the wrestling sections as well.
