Hey Michael—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our Razorbacks page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Dave Mo

Hey Michael,

I hope you've been enjoying the new and improved Bleacher Report—we're really happy with the feedback we've received so far.

Just thought I'd let you know that next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements, and thus 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 Michael!

Sorry about that, Michael. Very glad you took another look.

Michael, I've been following your articles since I have become a member. Your enthusiasm is not in question, but your researching skills need some work. If I were you, I would spend a little more time putting together well written and researched articles, rather than simple putting as many words down on the page as possible. Until you get better at both I would suggest trying to spend at least 2 hours on an article whether you think you need to or not. It will help you catch some of those mistakes and will build credibility as a writer and analyst on your behalf....

Yeah, I always got the impression that Arkansas fans did not care for him. Many have told us we can keep him. He won't be the savior of Ole Miss football, but he's going to do a good job here. Anything is better than what we've watched the past three seasons!

About your article on the Pats-Giants game......it's ok that you use outside sources, but you must use them only as direct quotes - in quotations..
You should never paraphrase or summarize to the point where it can be construed as plagiarism -even if you place a citation at the bottom.
That guy Bill is right. The work on this site should be original. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to next time.

Hey Michael,

While I agree that Laurence has been pretty good for the Pats... he hasn't played much of a role this season, which is why he was left out of the article. I think he will end up having a HOF type of career in New Enlgand though... as long as he stays there and stays healthy.

Thanks for the revisions, and thanks for reading the article.
