  1. Jon, I'm not in firefox today so here's some editor's feedback.

    Great article! I tweaked your teaser and headline and edited for style. Make sure everything checks out to your liking—keep up the good work!

  2. Hey Jon,

    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 Jon!
