About Andrew »

I am in my senior at Yale University, where I write sports comuns for the Yale Herald, the school's weekly paper.

As my picture shows, I used to play sports in high school: I played basketball and baseball. I like to think of myself as "retired."

I've lived in New York City all my life, but for some inexplicable reason my dad was a huge Pittsburgh Pirate fan when I was growing up, and now I am too. I have New York Jets season tickets and am also a big Knicks and Rangers fan. My dad also brought me up as a big Tennessee Volunteers fan, and after watching almost every game of the 2006 World Cup I have adopted soccer as my fifth sport and am an ardent Liverpool supporter.

I am always open to any feedback you have regarding any of my articles, or anything you would like to discuss at all. I am also the Pirates Community Leader on Bleacher Report, so feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the team or want to discuss article ideas.

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

The Orioles have some pitching problems. Their pitching rotation could be called the worst in the league, but has some potential. Who makes the Opening Day roster? PLEASE comment or read.
