About

Not writing as much for Bleacher Report any more. I'll contribute on occasion, but will be devoting most of my time to my new position as an ESPN Stats & Analysis intern.

    Anne E. from 263 days ago needs to settle down. So you made a mistake. She was a little out of line. Oh, I see from your picture you too are now a couple. How sweet.

    Eli, you're friggin' hysterical. That's cool about your mom. We might be about the same age and might have been going at about the same time. During Heights High/Shaker games the chant would be "Heights bites!", "Shaker sucks!" Are you okay with me posting that article on Facebook? I want to get your approval before I do. My sports friends will enjoy it.

    Were you really a donut in LeBron's video? It's not really streaking if you have a San Diego Chicken costume, right? Michelle Wie?

    Hey, would you be able to send your e mail to klangan@omnipossible.com? I want to get the B/R community leaders on a mailing list for a press release on behalf of Sports Media 101.

    Thanks

    Better check your facts and "opinion" on what the Nationals need to do from a trade standpoint. You are totally INCORRECT with the statistics you quoted. You say the Nats have converted only 3 of 9 save opportunities...Drew Storen himself is 5 for 5 with an era of .60. Storen and Tyler Clippard are ranked in the top 5 relievers in all of baseball according to the research at FanGraphs. Better spend more time on your school work and less time ripping players who don't deserve to be victimized by your lack of research and knowledge.

    Hey Eli,

    I thought you might be interested in my response to Mr. Thorn's "Farewell to Stats" piece:
