Hey, A.J.

Just caught your post on Chris Paul for MVP. Good stuff. It sounds like you're living in New Orleans. Get at me sometime soon and we should try meet up to discuss the intricacies of Melvin Ely's defensive positioning.

Hey A.J. ,

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 A.J. !
