I have no journalism degree, no Nobel Peace Prize (not even a nomination), and I don’t submit my articles to papers or magazines. I just write for fun. You will get my thoughts, my insight (if I have any), my point of view. If you are looking for shock and awe, go fire up your HDTV and put on the Military channel, cause that’s why it’s there. At the end of the day I’m just another joker clicking the keys on his pc…

Hey Peter,

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 Peter!

Zander
