About

I am currently the Associate Deputy TNT Editor for Bleacher Report, based out of San Francisco.

I started as a breaking news writer for Bleacher Report after dabbling in sports writing with CBS affiliate rotowire.com and tothetin.com, which was my futile attempt to create my own successful website.

As far as my favorite sporting events to cover, it’s tough to top the pageantry of college football.

But for my money, there’s absolutely nothing better than the first week of the NCAA Tournament--even with the expanded field.

First and foremost, I am a passionate hoops fan. I especially enjoy watching my man Derrick Rose and believe that all sports fans should embrace the 2011 NBA playoffs, which promise to offer the most compelling games in years.

Here are two of my favorite articles:

Thanks for reading!

    Hey Elliott
    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.

    you do not deserve to be on bleacher report. You just bashed about every good quarterback that ever played in the NFL. Way to go. You are retarded

    I couldn't disagree more with you on your article "Top ten for Favre having a poor season"

    That is brutal.

    I pray De Sean Jackson uses his head while he can, and gets out of the game. I played for the 49ers in 80 & 81 (Super Bowl), and developed hydrocephalus from repeated concussions dating back to my 3rd year of Pop Warner at age 13 when I was hospitalized after knocking myself unconscious in a tackling drill.

    Emergency VP Shunt brain surgery during the 81 Super Bowl season a few weeks after a knee surgery, two more brain surgeries ten hours apart, just four months after we won Super Bowl XVI and not only was I given last rites, but the hospital bills by the 49ers.

    Currently on brain surgery # 9 and counting.
