About

I have been a sports writer for more than six years now. Recently, I finished the 2013 Winter Bleacher Report Sports Writing Internship and now serve as a New England Patriots Featured Columnist. My focus is on the NFL, NCAAB and NCAAF, as well as the NBA and MLB. It all began in high school as I wrote as the lead sports reporter for The Tide, a nationally recognized student newspaper at the time. After high school I moved from Dover, NH to Philadelphia, PA to start school at Temple University. While at Temple I have written many different stories and learned valuable skills in writing, broadcasting and social media tactics.

Now I am focusing on online writing and blogging. Since 2008 I have operated my blog titled "Sports Talk With Lantz-A-Lot". Today, I emphasize interaction with my viewers and putting forth cold hard facts in my work. Using Facebook and Twitter to promote each story has increased my readership more and more each time. Along with sports writing, I have worked in landscaping, roofing and business. I am convinced that digital media and the use of social media as a promotion tool is the future. Feel free to contact me whenever.

    Whats the thoughts on Boston offseason? My gut feeling is that Pierce wants Boston to move on since they are at a good place with Rondo, Sullinger, Bradley and Green core. Its just that the hands are tied to build around that. I know Josh Smith may not be the guy to best suit Boston but if that is what is out there this offseason then Boston needs to jump at the chance.

    You're welcome. I guess we will find out very soon who they end up drafting. I am just hoping they don't make a surprise pick at wide receiver in the same sense Tavon Wilson was a surprise pick. He may work out but I'd rather see the obvious happen at a position they have struggled to develop. At least the first of them if they draft two total.

    Your welcome on reading the article. Im an avid Celtics fan and like to see different perspectives. Im glad KG and Pierce weren't traded. I'm torn on getting Crawford instead of a big. KG and Pierce have given me as a fan some great years of basketball. I'm not sold on KG and Pierce playing next season which would put us in a position for Smith anyways. Keep writing and ill keep reading!

    Thanks for becoming a fan, Nick! I see you are pretty new to B/R — how are you liking it so far? Your writing is terrific, I especially liked the Tom Brady piece. I'm eager to see how New England holds up going forward, though it's hard to imagine they'd struggle with Brady at the helm. Who are you rooting for in the playoffs?

    Thanks again, Nick, and if you ever have any questions or ideas about how to improve the site please don't hesitate to contact me.
