Nick's Bio

I'm a monster sports fan for several teams, and I live in Missouri. I'm only 16, but I know a lot more about sports than anyone would think and I've been trying to prove that by writing for Bleacher Report. I'm a dedicated Bengals fan even though they are having a horrible season. I know they'll come out of this slump sometime in the next 5 years. Albert Pujols is my favorite player simply because he is arguably the best player in baseball, but he has none of the arrogance others have. I'm always looking to become a better writer, so comment my articles, leave me notes, whatever. It all helps. This is Nick "The Ginger" signing off.
