About Charles »

Born on the South Side of Chicago (on a side street), in the mid 70's, I've been full circle with sports, coming up with my beloved White Sox, Bulls, Bears and watching Nascar oh I can't forget DePaul University (my alma mater), and Northwestern football, I've seen every possible way a team can lose but then win as well. My love of sports has waned some in recent years but I still like to write sports when I can.

Here is an interesting piece on football in Europe and the trend to settle racial issues in court.

Hey Charles—Jeff here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our NASCAR 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 jeff@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Jeff

Hey Charles,

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 Charles!
