I just finished a top ten list from the 65 series played in MLB, NHL, and NBA this decade that actually went the full seven games. I wanted to place the Bulls/Celtics first round series in a historical context. Please check it out if you have a chance. Thanks

I just wrote an article that addresses the Bleacher Report Writer Ranking System, which has been a sore spot to some and an area of controversy to many of you on this site.

I think that it's an important issue that needs to be addressed within this community. Please give the article a read when you have the chance. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

When you have a chance, I would love to get your take on my latest article. As a Giants fan you may take umbrage with where I have Willie Mays placed on this list.

Blake,

Just got around to reading your article. Nice little read, I met Coach Miller yesterday in the student union while he was getting a tour of the university. Seems like your average man, was walking around in a nice blue golf shirt. Looked like he just got done playing golf at a country club was walking around with his family. I hope he can turn around the program that I'll be videotaping next year.
