Tyler's Bio

I'm a hockey fan first and foremost. I am Canadian and live in Toronto. I have always been a Leafs fan. My opinions try always to be as unbias as possible, however my focus is not. I'm sorry but what the players are doing in Nashville does not concern me unless it's out of the ordinary. Other than that I live and breathe hockey.

I really get annoyed with the amount of people who write just to write. I believe in quality over quanitity and usually end up shaking my head at boring articles with no insight - that's what the TV's for - replays, recaps, and highlights.

There's a difference between cheerful, positive, and hate. Hate is the only thing you're doing when it comes to your criticism. You can write all the criticism you want just don't be a jerk about it and have some respect for the other writers. There are ways you can give constructive criticism without attacking the ideas and writing style of others.

Tyler,

Instead of attacking the writer and bluntly saying what was wrong with the article, you should focus more towards providing positive feedback and friendly critisism. I do not appreciate you insulting the piece whatsoever. Believe it or not, everyone has different opinions and everyone has different ways of expressing those opinions. So who are you to judge and say that my article was confusing and contradicting? You may "get annoyed with the amount of people who write just to write" but that's what this site is for. It's to write because you're a fan and you feel like it, so don't go around belittling people's work because YOU don't happen to find it insightful. I don't mind you reading the things I write, but I'd appreciate it if you did it with an open mind and not nitpick at the things I say. I don't tolerate personal attacks at all, so please keep your negative comments to yourself from now on.

p.s It's amount not amout (in your bio)

Hey Tyler,

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 Tyler!
