Amar's Bio

After covering the Cleveland Cavaliers for the popular blog "Cavalier Attitude" at MVN.com, Amar Panchmatia decided to turn to "The Bleacher Report" to cover a wide range of the hottest topics in sports today. Although he now resides in Portland, Oregon, Amar is still an avid and loyal follower of the teams in the town where he grew up: Cleveland, Ohio. As an alum of The Ohio State University, Amar also closely associates himself with the Ohio State Buckeyes. During his three years at the Most Valuable Network (MVN.com), Amar helped turn Cavalier Attitude into one of MVN's most popular sites.

Amar,

Would like to know what you think about my latest article involving the hype of Louisville. I, for a fact, have something to say about that.

Hey Amar, I've been reading your articles and I have quite enjoyed them. I recently started a website called thesportingtruth.com. I'm trying to separate my website from most other blogs by having only controversial articles. Your writing is just what I want for my site. Take a look at the site and let me know what you think. The site is new, but I have a marketing plan that will be taking place in the next few weeks. My email is akhoring@eiu.edu.

Take a look at the site and let me know what you think

thanks,

Ari

Tired of reading the same articles about Mangini? Here's my take on the Browns roster and how they could attack free agency. It's a fresh look at the organization and could be refreshing after sifting through thousands of Mangini articles.

Dude - I remember that game where McGwire hit the scoreboard. Wasn't he with the Cardinals then? If I recall correctly, it was Orel Hershiser pitching for the Tribe.

Anyways, do you remember how freakin quiet it was in that stadium after that happened?!? I think everyone was too busy picking up their jaws off the ground to make a sound. Unbelievable.

Yeah, the site probably makes it a little too easy for that to happen. Glad you cleared it up.

Really? I'm jealous. One of my friends just moved up there from the Bay. Her take: "Everything I liked about SF, none of what I hated." After spending a few days there, I'm inclined to agree...
