About Silver »

Hello to everyone here at Bleacher Report. Please follow me at Twitter at twitter.com/silverfox863. My sports blog, Toe Meets Leather is located online at http://toemeetsleather.blogspot.com/.

I thank Bleacher Report for my opportunties to read, comment, create, write, and publish facts and perspectives about the wide world of sports. I also thank most of the editors here who do a competent job of making corrections and improvements in my articles.

However, a few of the other so-called editors here evidently need to learn the difference between editing and censorship. This happens occasionally here at Bleacher Report. Regarding these censorship efforts, the words "Thought Police" come to mind. This metaphor, of course, is taken from the book 1984 by George Orwell.

I do not think that this reflects a policy of Bleacher Report. It comes across to me as a few people with access to edit articles use their own personal views to "police" what they do not like.

I emphasize that my experiences here at Bleacher Report are largely much more positive than negative. Bleacher Report enbables opportunities for me to fine tune my writing skills. It's a great site for writers simply because it caters to a huge audience. It also has affiliated itself with different media institutions, such as CBS Sports and Fox Sports.

My favorite way of keeping up with Bleacher Report is to follow B/R at Twitter, at http://twitter.com/BleacherReport/. Twiiter is another useful way for B/R Members to discuss article ideas, interact with other followers, and have their articles posted.

    The Southeastern Conference, with its storied 76-year history of athletic achievements and academic excellence, has built perhaps the greatest tradition of intercollegiate competition of any league in the country since its inception in 1933. Since 1990, the SEC has won 126 national team championships for an average of nearly seven per year. On the national all-sport level, the SEC placed nine teams in the top 50 of the NACDA Director’s Cup rankings The Southeastern Conference, or SEC, was the first conference in the NCAA to hold a championship game in football. It is one of the most successful financially, consistently leading all conferences in revenue distribution to its members including a record $127.2 million for the 2007–2008 fiscal year. The SEC members have long histories and many of the greatest rivalries.

Hey Silver. Tough loss to LSU. But no need to panic. We will survive. I'd like it if you checked out my take and please feel free to comment. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/266267-georgia-bulldogs-loss-to-lsu-uga-still-standing

What up everyone? I wrote an article about the changes here on B/R over the last couple of months, and about some of the things that we used to have, that we don't anymore. If you could, check it out.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/261261-dear-bleacher-report-please-bring-back-the-old-format

As I have said in the past, many times, I am not on here for AOTD votes, but I believe that if enough of you give me your AOTD vote, then maybe the higher ups will bring back some of the things that are gone.

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.
