About Ian »

I'll keep this short because I hate to write about myself.

I am a 17 year old guy from the Canadian province of Manitoba. I am particularly a hockey fan, with my favourite team being the Pittisburgh Penguins. I have a passing interest in the other sports, meaning that most of my time on Bleacher Report will be spent on the NHL section.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Wayne Gretzky, Roger Federer, Tiger Woods, Peyton Manning, Steve Nash
Favorite Sports Teams

Pittisburgh Penguins, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Lakers, Toronto Blue Jays, Minnesota Vikings
All Time Sports Moment

US Hockey Olympic gold in 1980
Most Memorable Game Attended

I've attended very few so my favourite is a regular season game between the Bruins and the Penguins, the Bruins won in a SO.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Gretzky's 50 goals in 39 games.
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth
Unitas or Montana?

i'm too young to know about this, let's say Montana
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky's the Great One, for a reason
Pele or Maradona?

Pele. I couldn't tell you what a Maradona is, is it Madonna?
Federer or Sampras?

Federer, he's losing his touch but he'll soon be able to beat Sampras' grand slam record
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger, this guy's a god
Petty or Earnhardt?

Earnhardt, what a legend
Schumacher or Senna?

no idea
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

I'm back on hockey!

Please take a look at my latest article documenting Tim Thomas' rise from nothing to become one of the NHL's premier goaltenders when you get a free moment.

Thanks,
Patrick

Hey man,

Your article was already pretty solid on most points, but I'll try to explain some of the comma changes. I'm not sure which ones you were wondering about, but, in general, you need a comma before an "and" when the two things in the sentence aren't related. That makes the two parts of a sentence independent clauses.

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_comma.html

These links are quick reads that should help explain. Basically, if the sentence can stand on its own without a certain part of it (like the "in general" in my second sentence up there), then it should have commas separating it. Let me know if there is anything particular not covered here or anything it seems I messed up. Hope this helps,

-Tim
