Josh's Bio

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 Short List What Josh thinks about sport's most pressing questions

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?

Check out my latest article on Gegard Mousasi, based on a recent interview I did with him.

Weigh in on your opinion of him as a fighter and what will happen to him in the future.

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,

Still working on it Josh. My apologies. I was corrected to just do punctuation edits and will no longer do thought ones. Took it a bit far.

The Sox offense has been pathetic as of late. They needed something to spark them, and Kevin Youkilis found a way.

Here's how Kevin Youkilis charging the mound will help the Sox:
