About Zachary »

Check out me and my buddies Islander/Ranger blog at http://nyhockeyrivalry.com/

I was born and raised a NY Rangers fan on Long Island.

I would watch other sports if they were played on ice.

I no longer read the comics in the daily newspaper to get my laughs. I just read the Knicks articles.

My hobbies include, like every American in America, movies (Braveheart, American Beauty, Suicide Kings, Boondock Saints, Young Guns I & II, Point Break, Superbad) and music (country, alt-country, rock). I also like alcohol, new socks, and bagels.

I don't like bad tippers in restaurants, men who don't wear shoes in public, virgins, or people who will never admit to being wrong. I don't believe in white cheese or anything in moderation.

Hey Zachary—Jeff here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our Rangers page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at jeff@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Jeff

Hey Zachary,

I hope you've been enjoying the new and improved Bleacher Report—we're really happy with the feedback we've received so far.

Just thought I'd let you know that next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements, and thus it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Zachary!
