Crowd's Bio

Hey guys.

Here's a short bio of my sports life.

WWF/WWE: since 1989, age 4 (first match inc. The Rockers)
NHL/OHL: since 1992, age 7 (Habs-Leafs)

I followed the Leafs for 13 years, eventually joining the Ottawa fanbase in 2005. I also like the Rangers, Thrashers and Sharks...I don't mind the Red Wings and Avs. Although, aside from Ottawa, I like all Canadian teams equally... I still HATE the Montreal Canadiens.

I've mostly been a fan of the faces (good guys) in WWE, but in my backyard wrestling days, I was a heel (bad guy). Current faves include Edge, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, MVP, Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton and John Morrison. I like Melina and Mickie James on the gals side.

Hope to get some good reviews here, but mostly this is my writing station. I am a broadcast journalist now, with degrees in Broadcast and Print Journalism. I've always loved sports however, and would like to one day become an analyst or commentator. Currently, I'm working freelance for my two local papers.

I just wanted to give you a heads-up that your slideshow of what you want to see in the NHL in 2009 is up in the 'what bloggers are saying' section at http://msn.foxsports.com/name/public/foxfunhouse. Nice job. —AG

I would email zander@bleacherreport.com about your problem. He'll be able to give you more advice than I can. He has contacts with the tech people.

Hey Coach

I have a new Blackhawks piece, I'd love to hear from you. As someone who follows a Blackhawks Rival your input would be especially appreciated.

Thanks either way,

Yeah, I don't know. Sometimes if I throw in punctuation or re-type words it counts as an "edit." The count isn't really reliable—you're better off clicking on the "show changes" button.
