About

A recent graduate of UCLA (Go Bruins!) with a degree in sociology. I'm an LA guy all the way (Lakers, Dodgers, UCLA). I've got my fair share of sports-related opinions, so I figured I'd use Bleacher Report as an outlet for said opinions. Feel free to agree, disagree, or be totally indifferent about what I have to say. All I ask is that you make your voice heard because I'm looking for all the feedback I can get.

    Josh, finally someone called a shovel a spade toward Tiger. It really easy to continue to write the negative look toward any athlete than it is to write something interesting. People forget just how hard it is for any athlete to come back from a major injury much less three major knee surgies in three years on the one knee that braces all the power Tiger has. You are correct, Tiger is golf. Tiger is the stor in golf. Until someone steps up and takes the raigns, claims #1 and holds onto it Tiger is still the main story. He's only won 1 time in 4 years and all the while the #1 ranking has changed 12 times. There is no consistant story to write about but the inconsistance of Tiger Woods. If someone does not step up with all the time Tiger has give the 'FIELD' to do so, When he get finally comfortable with his new moves that allow him to brace and be consistant, he's going ot continue to be the Man for there is no other player on the Tour worthy of taking the top ranking in golf and inspiring the golf world but Tiger Woods. Thanks for saying so.

    The Kobe-MK late career comparison article you wrote is the best article I've ever read on this site. Great Work! Keep it Up.

    Hey Josh I'm a huge fan and love your writing. Bleacherreport, especially your writing, has inspired me to start writing about sports. I considered signing up for bleacherreport but instead decided to try to make my own website. http://bustasports.com/ is the link, and it would mean a ton if you checked it out and gave me some feedback. Feel free to give me positive or negative feedback, either way it means a lot. You can post on my profile or email me at lmssports@hotmail.com
    I also have a couple questions, so do you have a personal email I can reach you at?
    Thanks a lot and a reply would be huge for me.

    Josh, Tannehill threw for 16 INT's last year. He would have thrown for over 20 had he played 16 games. I'd like to make the case for Miami to go offensive line with their 1st pick.

    1. Miami was 30th in the league in QB hits last year.
    2. They were third in the league in Sacks allowed.
    3. As much as people want to make a case for QB Matt Moore pretty good uear last year. He had a QB rating of 87.5. That's good for 12th in the league. He was actually ahead of guys like:

    Jay Cutler, Michael Vick, Cam Newton, Flacco, Palmer, Dalton, Fitzpatrick.

    He did this while still getting sacked at an alarming rate. Think of what he could do in a quick pass west coast offense with an offensive line that can protect him. DeCastro is the only player at 8 that one can say with confidence will be a perenial pro bowl player. They are comparing this guy to Steve Hutchinson. In other words, he's a once in a decade type player. He would single handedly improve our running game. An improved running game would in turn improve our passing game. Which like I said earlier wasn't all that bad last year.

    Philbin has already commented on Miami's need on the offensive line. Look for Miami to land either the All Pro guard DeCastro or the solid Reiff with the 8th overall pick.

    1. DeCastro
    2. Nick Perry
    3. Harrison Smith (We have to get a safety. Smith is projected to be the best safety when it comes to covering TE's. (Gronk, Hernandez, Keller, TD Chandler)
    3. Mohamed Sanu or Quick
    4. Best Available (there is always someone who falls to the 4th)
    5. Brock Oswieler (6'6 242 cannon arm)
    6. best available
    7. best available

    Josh,
    You are an idiot. You and your West coast stupidity. I do not agree with this shirt, but I also don’t feel that it was meant the way that you have portrayed it. I live in California, the state that voted down Gay Marriage. I see more homophobic people here than I ever did while I lived in the South. I didn’t see you write an article when a Dodger fan beat the hell out of a Giants fan and put him into the Hospital or when there was a major fight after a 49er & Raider game.

    Josh,

    Your article on the incident at Anfield was very poor. Did you research it at all? Did you spend any time looking into the matter? Finding out what both sides have said?

    Don't take this the wrong way but judging by your article on Wayne Rooney and your reference to Newcastle as a second rate team, English football is not something you know much about or spend much time watching or researching.
