About David »

This is my bio if Hubie Brown wrote it.

So you're a 27 year old wanna-be sportswriter who is literally OBSESSED with basketball, you did a four year stint in the Navy, you're going to college, and you're a lead singer in a band. With all that said, there is a tremendous amount of upside potential here.

Your profile is hysterical. If it was done in Mark Jackson's words, it would be exactly the same except the last sentence would be "Momma, there goes that man!"

Hey David,

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 David!
