    Hi Gabe. Wanted to say thanks for this callout:

    Sports stars and coaches have a way of nabbing great beasts from the depths of the sea. Bleacher Report's Eric Newman has a breakdown of some of the best moments.

    Best wishes,

    Eric

    Hey Gabe. The name Sedale Threatt caught my eye on your list of favorite athletes. From your other lists I assume it's from his Laker days. I went to the same college he did. I started there the year he graduated. I lived about 30 miles from WV Tech (now WVU Tech) so I saw him play a lot in college where he was absolutely unstoppable. I was a Sixer fan since I was a kid so LOVED it when they drafted him, then outraged a few years later when they traded him. For Steve F#@&ing Colter. Are you kidding me?!! Anyway, I enjoy reading you're stuff. Keep up the good work.

    You need to get up on your "pop culture" if that's what you're writing about. You don't seem to know anything about pop culture today and I could tell just by reading one of your articles. Learn something.

    dude you need to learn how to take criticism and stop deleting comments when people dont agree with you and specially when people tell you that what you are doing is stupid and that you are in other words an oxygen thief
