Which one is German?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Yeah, the Royals are in first place right now. But are they a contender or a pretender? Check out my Division Leader Contenders/Pretenders piece and see what you think.

Hey Brad—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our Arsenal page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Dave Mo

The Underestimated Importance of Football Agents

For some the roles of agents keep football the billion pound industry it is across the world today.

For others agents are unnecessary commodities that suck millions of pounds out of the game each year at the expense of the sport. Which Side do you sit on?

Be sure to leave your opinion Brad!
