About

Sports writing is something I knew I'd get into since the first time I started writing anything. I love to tell a story, but I'll admit I'm lazy. With sports I can just write about what happens on the field, then fill in a little bit of analysis and opinions from time to time.

I was born in Charleston, South Carolina on October 21, 1983 to two Cuban parents (one from Chicago, the other from Boston via Miami), and moved to Miami when I was six weeks old. Since then I've been immersed as a Miami-sports fan (with the exception of the Marlins since I decided to follow my father into being a Cubs fan). The Dolphins are my first sports-love and the team I'm a Featured Columnist of on this fair site, but I'm also a huge Heat fan and will write about them from time to time. I'm not the typical Miami "bandwagon" fan, I'm with my team through the end (and lord know's I've been tested, thank you Stephen Ross and Jeff Ireland!).

I also like debating anyone, anywhere, at any time about any subject. I'm opinionated but not stubborn, I'll admit I'm wrong when I'm proven wrong and raise the hand of the victor of such a debate. I also like to write short stories and am always available to freelance in my spare time.

    Hey Thomas, don't know if you saw my message but just wanted to say I love the most recent mock draft you did, definitely made me re-look at some of my own rankings and evaluations. Great stuff and thanks for what you do!

    Well another ereporter that has opinion on CBs. I would want you to review the game enitrely before you would give RJ a B for a grade. I guess you missed the missed block on special teams and how he was beat 3/4 of the time down field. Good thing they did throw deep on him because the score could of been worse. Sean is not as good as the media portrays. So he showed up for a game or two. He has played every down and every game. His stats should be higher on the team stats. Nolan Carroll had 1 rough game and has played less full games and shares with RG and his numbers are high. Please before you rattle of your opinion please review time in game and how many games played with or without mistakes before you grade RG a B and Nolan Carroll a C

    Thank you for the kind words Thomas. Coming from an individual whose tireless effort led him to the position I hope to one day be in, that means a lot. I look forward to one day being amongst the ranks of respected featured columnists such as yourself.

    Thanks, Thomas! I was getting a bit excited for the season so I thought I'd try writing a few Dolphins articles, but based on today it looks like it's just going to be another depressing season.

    I've been reading yours and Scott Altman's articles since I found Bleacher Report and I must say you are definitely both the best Dolphins writers on here, so thanks for the kind words.
