Wow. I just read a long comment I posted on your "hollow victory" article, and I realized I was a bit harsh. Please don't take it personally and it wasn't meant to get you hot under the collar. Just know I disagree. :-p

Hey Brad—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our World Football page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Dave Mo

Hey Brad mate .

The Thing About My personalities ill clear up now .

On the article the bit where i was scathing was not aimed at long john or the article That long john wrote , i actually liked his piece ,

it was actually aimed at paul who had commented on the article , i was referring to another article he was being out of order on Towards me and a couple of other people it just so happened that he got My goat again on the comments in long john's article .

Just wanted to clear any confusion up , because it looked like i was talking to long john but in fact i wasnt .

Sorry if you had to read anything unneccesary , i indeed am a nice person but some people i cant deal with .

cheers .

Girls got to play softball during gym in grade school, but that to me was not the same as playing with the boys. Girls' sports were not supported by the schools like boys sports were until a law was passed that girls should have equal oportunity in all school sports just like the boys always had. And now girls are even allowed to try out for football and wrestling--I would have loved that when I was in school.
