About Will »

Sports is a true passion of mine. From watching to playing, to fantasy sports to just sitting down talking and debating sports I love everything about it. I am from Grand Rapids, Michigan and am a fan of all things sports in the state of Michigan.

I am excited to use this as a way to get some of my thoughts out in written form as writing is another passion of mine. I anticipate writing on a variety of topics from Michigan based sports to sports in general and even a few fantasy sports pieces along the way. I look forward to meeting you all and reading and dialouging with your work as well. With that said please feel free to always comment and dialogue on my writing as that is why I am doing this.

I think you have a good start under your belt. It was a good idea to get a Lesnar article into your resume so that more people would be viewing your work and giving you some exposure to the site.

I would just say that you should do your best to keep your points clear and concise. Make sure to do your research and back up your points as well. It is fine to say you think Nogueira could beat Couture, but back it up, too.

I look forward to seeing some more MMA articles. Try mix up your articles with fresh ideas between the classics that get readers (i.e. Kimbo, Tito and Lesnar).

Good start!

Hey Will ,

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 Will !

Hey- I signed up and it all looks good. I'm glad we're going with traditional 5x5 roto.
It's your league and I'm not going to tell you what to do with it, but I'd rather not start two catchers. I mean we're really going to have to dip into the Ronny Paulinos of the world if we do that.

Looks good though

Yeah, I would be. Send me the league info so I can see what kind of league it is first, but generally speaking I'd be interested so keep me posted.
