About Dan »

Grew up in New Orleans, college at Vanderbilt and grad school at Northwestern. Saints, Commodores and Wildcats. Yes, I've had my share of sports disappointments.

But I've been fortunate enough to watch class acts like Archie Manning and Drew Brees whilst enjoying a cup or three of Dome foam; to be part of the student section at the wonderful Memorial Gym and witness to inspiring upset victories by Barry Goheen, Barry Booker and Will Purdue; and to host a killer Rose Bowl party on a balmy Los Angeles night for my classmates recently sprung from chilly Evanston.

I've joined my dad and brother under Touchdown Jesus; the Angels had the support of me and my future wife from the upper deck when they took the Series from the Giants; and I had a better seat than Warren Moon and Chris Berman (good story here) at Super Bowl XXXII to see John Elway get his first SB victory.

I've spent nearly fifteen years learning from some of the best while pushing the boundaries of consumer media and entertainment at places like Disney/ESPN and THQ. I joined Bleacher Report as its CEO because I believe that B/R is not only a great place to be a sports fan but that it is important to the future of media. What we are doing -- together -- matters.

Hello, I would like you to read this very important story based on bleacher report. I have taken the time to explain in detail some of the issues members are facing here. I am doing this because I do not believe the bosses are aware of these issues. I hope you will also take the time to read your community member comments. Thanks you for your time and God Bless.

This article was originally published in support of Relay for Life. If you have read this before, then I apologize, but please considering donating at least $1 to Make a Wish in the memory of Josiah Herring. In light of several recent events I felt compelled to revisit cancer awareness and have not had the time for a new article. I Promise to have a new article out soon in support of the cause.

Thank you everyone!
