About

What's up everyone?! I'm Joe Higgins and I'm currently interning for Bleacher Report so look for more of my articles to be published in the coming weeks. My favorite sports to write about and watch are football (NFL), hockey and baseball. Being from the NY/NJ you will find me writing articles about teams like the Mets, Devils and Giants. Also, I love the city of Chicago and love all the teams out there so I'll be writing for that cities' teams from time to time. Always looking for a good sports discussion/ argument so all opinions are welcome.

A little bit about my "career" with sports writing: I'm currently studying journalism (with a focus in sports writing) and writing/rhetoric at the University of Rhode Island. Sports are my passion and my life and I enjoy writing.

I had a brief outing with doublegsports.com, covering the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils games and news. I did that for a season then I started managing my own blog, big4report.com. That lasted a little while until I started my internship here so I've been 100% focused on this. This past month I became a Featured Columnist for the Chicago Bears.

    The reason behind the New Orleans Saints colors is pretty much an easy explanation. John Mecom, the original owner, was an oil tycoon. His original choice was blue, gold and white which was turned down by the NFL. So he chose the colors that were dear to his heart and pocketbook, Black Gold!!!
