John's Bio
I'm a struggling writer, originally from Florida by way of New England, now settled in the Midwest. It's kind of like living in Oz, but without the gold pavement on the roads. I maintain my East Coast love of the New York Mets and New England Patriots, and I'm grudgingly trying to reconcile with my old flame, the Boston Celtics.

All Time Sports Moment
The ball rolling through Bill Buckner's legs. Enough said.
Most Memorable Game Attended
I saw Pokey Reese hit two home runs in a game once. Yes, THE Pokey Reese. One of them was inside-the-park.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record
I don't believe records are unbreakable, but Cy Young's 511 wins isn't looking vulnerable soon.
Ruth or Mays?
Ruth in right field, Mays in center, obviously. Add Ted Williams or Stan Musial in left, and we're golden.
Unitas or Montana?
Montana, mostly because I never saw Unitas play.
Pele or Maradona?
I originally thought this said "Pele or MADONNA?" which was much more amusing to me.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?
I actually (gasp!) don't follow college sports much. Although March Madness can be fun.

Haven't seen you on here for awhile.
Even if you can't find the time to write, go ahead and comment on any articles that you can.

Hey John,
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 John!
