J.C.'s Bio

~~~ A message for my friends ~~~
I want to let you all know that I not be very active for the near future. I will try to read all articles posted to my board, but will not be doing much writing or commenting. Hope to resume the great sporting interaction with you all very soon.
*****

A Los Angeles born hard core fan who has been based in LA, Orange and San Diego counties. Dabbled in radio while in college, now helping folks real estate wise in the Glendale-Burbank part of Los Angeles.

Avid follower of the major team sports: baseball, football, hockey, soccer and hoops.

Have the greatest appreciation for a collection of individuals who are able to put their personal concerns aside to achieve a team goal.

Philosophies in sport:
1- Offense scores points, defense wins games.
2- Don't talk (crap) before you putt.
3- Don't worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon.
4- If you want to smell the roses, you gotta deal with the thorns.
5- Baseball is Life, Football is Passion

  5. Just a note to let you know that I am leaving Bleacher Report.

    For the first year or so it was a rewarding experience, but as of late it appears that volume (ie: hit revenue) should out weigh quality of writing on his site.

    Recently I have cut back on contributing and focused on my own blog, at www.yathehabsrule.com , as I noticed the ranking formats, etc. seemed to be in disarray. One by one, quality writers have walked away.

    The recent blatant plagiarism by a certain NHL writer has finally let the bubble burst.

    I' d like to thank you for following me on B/R and hope that you will continue to follow me as I have joined www.fanhuddle.com/montrealcanadiens , a site that has just two writers to a team.

    You can also follow me on Twitter @ http://www.twitter.com/yathehabsrule or email me: kevin@yathehabsrule.com

    Thank-you
