About Josh »

A writer since 1994, Josh has an extensive background in covering sports. After leaving the business for a few years, Nason found blogging in 2007, starting up New England sports and media centric Small White Ball.com and being the first sports blog to break the news on the ESPN Dana Jacobson story. In 2008, Nason started RopesRingCage.com - a site focusing strictly on MMA, wrestling and boxing.

Nason has written extensively for Wrestling-Online.com and 411wrestling (now 411mania.com). He's also written for the Maine Campus, Bangor Daily News, Manchester (NH) Magazine and national MMA magazine FIGHT! Magazine.

Note: Due to time commitments, I cannot review or respond to every story link you post here on the board. However, feel free to include them and I'll do what I can to give them a look. Thanks!

The Shortlist »

  • Favorite Athletes

    MMA fighters, Alexander Ovechkin, Josh Beckett, Kevin Garnett

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Kings

  • All Time Sports Moment

    2004 ALCS - Red Sox finally beat the Yankees. Amazing and emotionally draining series of events!

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    2007 - Red Sox hit four consecutive home runs to beat the Yankees at Fenway

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Baseball: consecutive games played. No way this will ever be broken again.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays: the racial undertones of what he was doing, plus intensified media reaction made this infinitely tougher in my opinion.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana, simply because I don't know much about the Unitas era.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan by a hair...Russell was the ultimate winner, but Jordan became a global icon and the gold standard for what other athletes strive to be.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky. Even living in Greater Boston, Orr is more regional than national.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele because he had those awesome jerseys

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Do I have to pick?

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger (falling asleep)

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    The American Moustache Society!

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Don't care

  • Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

    For what sport?

    When Randy Orton defeated John Cena at Hell In a Cell to win the WWE Championship, the living legend made history.

    See why Orton's victory defied WWE's conventional devotion to a flawed tradition and learn why the WWE bettered themselves by placing the industry's greatest prize around the shoulder of their most talented performer.

    Whether you agree or disagree, I'd love to hear you voice your opinion on a subject for which is bound to receive less attention than it deserves.

    Hope to see you there,
    -Ryan Michael
