Eric's Bio

Hi, I'm Eric Gomez. Currently, I'm a Television, Film and New Media Major attending San Diego State University in (you guessed it) San Diego, California. Aside from writing and enjoying sports, I design websites in my spare time and wonder why the San Diego Padres haven't had a pitcher throw a no-hitter or a batter hit for the cycle.

I'm a co-Community Leader for the San Diego Chargers section on B/R, as well as the Community Leader for the San Diego Padres. I'm also a somewhat prolific soccer writer, and I've been lucky enough to have four soccer articles published on foxsports.com:

http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/9174862/Why-Real-won%5C%27t-be-signing-any-stars-soon
http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/9070192/What-have-you-done-for-me-lately
http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/9353824/What-happened-to-Altidore-and-Dos-Santos?
http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/9917640/Why-Mexico-will-beat-the-U.S.-at-the-Azteca

As well as having the following article featured on CBSSports.com:

My writing also appears on SoCalSportsHub.com (Padres) , NFLTouchdown.com (Chargers) and Examiner.com (Aztecs)

  1. Hey Eric,

    Good to hear from you! I've been swamped with work lately, so I've been taking a lengthy break from the B/R. Not sure when I'll be able to get back.

    How are things in CA?

  2. here is a story of another NFL Legend who has yet to get his deserved respect :

  3. LOL, it's been a while for real. The humor bug hasn't been biting as much recently. Plus, I'm doing a lot of focus on my other website. I do hope to get something humorous out in another week or so.

    But, here is something I did recently that might make you giggle:

  4. Please take a look at my latest article! It would mean a lot. Tell me what you think.

  6. Eric,

    No problem! I loved your article!

  7. Eric,

    I apologize if the note I left you was insuffcient. I can't remember exactly what I wrote but, I didn't feel like any of the changes were "substantial."

    Anything you want to change back is fine with me.

    Thanks for your feedback, good luck with your continued writing.

    Joe

  8. Eric,

    Since you are local, I thought you might enjoy the references in this article about Darren Sproles bailing the Chargers out last night:

    Regards,

    Christopher
