Number of times I have been Rick Rolled- 7

In honor of my friend T.W. Krems. Good luck man.

I'm going to write a NEW bio for you all to love and enjoy.
My name is David Arreola, I am 18 years old, and I am a freshman at Santa Fe College in Gainesville, FL. But, I am still a Buchholz Bobcat at heart (09 forever).

I don't write for six different sites, and writing is not what I plan to do with my life, but I am pretty good at it.

All credit for my proper grammar and fluent sentence structure goes to my senior high school AP Lit teacher, Mrs. Smith. Thank you, Mrs. Smith

The one thing I hate more than anything in the sports world is bias. It is dumb and completely ruins perfectly good sports arguments.

B/R is a fun and excellent site that introduces you to new ideas and intriguing perspectives on sports.

Food for thought....

What is the difference between a man and a parasite?
A Man builds, while a parasite asks "Where is my share?"
A Man creates, while a parasite asks "What will the neighbors think?"
A Man invents, while a parasite says "Watch out, or you might tread on the toes of God..."

A Man chooses, a slave, obeys.

There are four types of people in this world:
The three major ones (we are all one of these):
Assholes
Pussies
Douchebags

and the extremely rare: Hero.

Which one are you?

Wrote a article as we're approaching the quarterpole of the NFL (more so if you count preseason).

Which players surprised even the best of analysts?

Hey David, in what I hope to be a new feature to the site, I've written a comprehensive biography of France Legend Michel Platini, it's long so I can understand if you don't have the time to look at it but otherwise I'd really appreciate your opinion on it.

Favre gets week 2 with 88% pass completion. He looks careful and conservative which is working awfully well. Sorry I couldn't wait. I know you're busy.

Hey David,
Home runs are tons of fun, but are they beneficial for baseball? http://bleacherreport.com/articles/258282-home-runs-the-potion-that-turned-into-a-poison

Did you watch the Packers - Bears game? I went back and studied the film to come up with some surprising observations, including the key play in the game that everyone has overlooked.

OK, David.

Clearly you have a problem with me because no article, no matter how much you dislike it, prompts you to write a spontaneous bashing note on another's profile, unless it's insulting you in some way.

If this is about me saying I won't be coming along with you guys for this "journey," then I'll ask you to check out my response to Robert's comment in the thread. After seeing all the boards crammed with "Enough with this, and that, and because someone started this I hate it, blah blah blah" I decided to write the piece. IF you want more explanation, again, the thread is very much available to you.

Was that good enough for you? Or am I stooping to such a level that you have the authority to speak to me the way you did on my board?
