I like to spend my spare time with my wife and son, as well as writing about tennis and assist others who like writing about tennis. That's what I'm here for, so let me know if I can help you out.

You can also find my writings at http://tennisconnected.com/ and http://sportsthenandnow.com/.

I know you take time out across the weekend, so hope you can fit in a read before you go today...it's a special in the series of Queens of the Court to coincide with Billie Jean's birthday. I'm such an admirer of her....

Ron,

Can’t a ‘Phins fan dream a little?

Check out my preview to the Miami Dolphins upcoming contest against the Carolina Panthers this Thursday night to find out why I’m dreaming some nice little dreams. Let me know if those dreams are realistic, or simply comment on the writing…lol

Thanks,

Rob, this is for Long. It was to be our first collaboration. You can imagine what a contrasting piece he had drafted!

I was a little confused between the choices 1 and 2 at the time I wrote. Now I'm dead sure that the #1 was indeed the right choice....... by a LARGE margin!

Hi Rob - I am new and I wrote an article but evidently I need to do something to get it edited? How do I do that?
