About Melvin »

Started playing football when I was 3 years old and it has certainly been quite awhile since then. I was involved at national club age-group level and currently possess a coaching 'B' license from my FA. My interest in sports has led to me to pursue a career in sports journalism in ESPN StarSports Asia. Been writing and producing work for a year now and things are going great. Always the controversial commentator, looking forward to more arguments and criticisms.

Hey Melvin,

I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Melvin!
