About

Hey, Bleacher Report. My name's Kenny and I'm currently entering my sophomore year at Fordham University (Go Rams!). I started writing for B/R in January of 2011, and it's really opened many doors for me.

I've always loved to write, and I'm one of the biggest sports fans you'll ever meet, so being a sports journalist is a natural goal of mine. I'm currently majoring in Communications & Media Studies and minoring in English at Fordham.

I'm an intern with B/R for the next few months, and I'm excited to work with the excellent staff of the 4th largest sports website in the world.

My favorite teams are the Yankees, New York Giants, Nets, Fordham Rams and most recently the Washington Nationals, and I'm always up for a good discussion regarding them.

The highlight of my young career as a writer was the chance to interview the YES Network's Jack Curry over the phone—great guy, great interview.

Thanks so much for reading, everyone. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer B/R.

    Hey there Kenny :) So, right off the bat I see you're a Natties writer—which pleases me greatly. I live in DC and have been attending Natties games on the regular for about four years...so I'm glad to see my money has actually gone towards something. Unlike all the money I once donated to the Pirates charity of losing losers....

    But hey! Thanks for fanning me on here—I really appreciate the support <3

    And keep up the great writing. You're quite the prolific writer.

    Thanks for reading and making my article a favorite, Kenny. I appreciate it, and it means a lot coming from someone who is also a sportswriter. I'll be shooting photos of Bryce when the Nats come to San Francisco. I'll be sure to send you some of them!
