About

I cover the Pirates and Jets for Bleacher Report, but I will also pen the occasional article about the Knicks, Rangers or anything else I encounter. I don't cover much college basketball here, but I'm a huge fan.

I am always open to any feedback you have regarding any of my articles, or anything you would like to discuss at all. I make an effort to engage with commenters and am also happy to take conservations off-line.

You can also find me on Twitter @akaufman23.

    I just read the worst sports article EVER! Can't believe "bleacherreport" allows you to post columns on their website! Typical Jets fan balsting the Pats! Maybe you should be flipping burgers instead of pushing out turd-nugget sports columns? Just a thought...

    What about SF running a fake FG up 24 points in the 3rd quarter this year?

    Peyton Manning throwing from the shotgun up 28 with less than six minutes left in the fourth quarter in Week 4?

    Aaron Rodgers doing the same with a 25 point lead in Week 6?

    Drew Brees and Robert Griffin passing with 28 and 25 point leads late in the fourth in Week 11?

    Is everyone in the NFL classless? Or maybe, just maybe, these teams are taught to play 60 minutes of football, and they have no prerogative whatsoever not to play. If the other team wants their opposition to stop, they should stop them.

    So explain to me, Andrew—how did the Pats disgrace themselves on Thanksgiving when Eli Manning was throwing into the end zone on 4th down in a a game his team was winning by 28?

    My 2009 NFL predictions continue with the NFC South. Last year the Panthers took the divison, while the Falcons stormed onto the scene as a playoff contender. As the new season approaches, who shall take the division crown this year? Appreciate any feedback given!

    Hey andrew say your comment on the 3 worst franchises. Don't sweat the small stuff about that kid. If you look at Heart Beats comments it will make sense.

    He wrote that article 3 months ago and cant come up with anything fresh so he just reposted it
