About robert »

I am a 38 year old man that still acts like a boy. I am passionate about Pitt Athletics as I am an active Alumnus. I love college football and March Madness is the ultimate thrill. I truly love baseball and go to as many Nats games as possible since I live about 5 miles away from stadium. I love the New York Yankees but the Nats are now my home team.

I have had many awesome sports memories and the one that sticks out the most was when the New York Giants took the field against the New Orleans Saints in Sept 2001. This was the first game played after 9/11 and it was the most uplifting and emotional thing that I have ever been apart of in my life.

I reside in Old Town Alexandria and have dog named Seamus and we go to Pat Troys where they serve dogs and people together, we both enjoy the healthy black and tan. Seamus is stubborn hence the Irish name, his breed is a Kangol which is the national dog of Turkey.

I love the Giants in football so no Redskins love here, I do not hate them like the Cowboys. The Giants winning the Superbowl was sweet it was like ever since the Red Sux won the World Series New York lost its swagger but that win gave the swagger back to the City.

Hey Rob,

Please check out my slide show. Yes I'm shamelessly trying to win the i-pod touch. But please help me out anyway.

Thanks.

Not a big deal, I don't think he was bothered...as an editor I just like to correct errors, that's all. Keep up the good writing though, I've been checking out your articles while we correspond.

Hey Robert,

If you have a concern over a deleted article, please contact our Managing Editor Ryan Alberti—he can be reached at ralberti@bleacherreport.com.

Please remember that we receive hundreds of articles a day and thus it may be difficult for Ryan to remember why in particular this one was deleted, but it's worth a shot.

Thanks Robert,

Great -- thanks, Robert. Go ahead and include conference and non-conference games in your list of 10 games, and publish it directly to the site. That way, our editors will take a look at it. Shoot me a link when it's up, and I'll also check it out. Thanks.

Oh, I understood. Just didn't want you getting his credibility wrong. Unless I (and Google) are mistaken, he went to Princeton. He's actually a fantastic guy, and my boss, so I just wanted you to have your idea of him straight.

Robert, Editing is easy. You can simply click on the "Edit This Article" button and edit away. I edit lots of writings when I see one that hasn't been gone over. It helps get mine better each time by helping others. Many people edit and help me with mine as well. The main thing is keep on writing. The more you do it, the better you'll get.

BTW, the edits I did ARE saved as the final version.

Larry
