About Orlando »

What's up, I'm Orlando. Nice to meet you. I'm kind of new to the writing game and didn't really get into it until about a year ago. So I'm still trying to improve and better myself as a writer.

I currently contribute work for:

http://www.2minutestomidnightgreen.com/

http://eaglesblog.net/

But a little about myself. I'm a die hard Philly Sports fan. The Eagles and Phillies are by far the pinnacle of my sports life. I am a die-hard Flyers fan. I am a strong supporter that Sammy Dalembert needs to be traded out of Philadelphia, but go Sixers. I believe that Tim Tebow will develop into one of the best dual-threat QB's in the NFL one day, screw ESPN. For some reason I can remember the amount of yards Donovan McNabb threw for but I can't remember Geometry. I am a senior at St. Marks High School in Wilmington Delaware, I will be attending Wesley College in the fall. I write for their school paper and am the Sports Editor. In the fall I covered UD Football, Scoccer, Volleyball, among other things.

My articles will mostly be about the Eagles and the NFL, some about the Flyers, Sixers and PHILLIES. But mostly the NFL.

I'm so happy that I found Bleacher Report. It's a place where you can hone your writing skills and connect with fellow and opposing fans in a sensible way. I'm ranked 3rd as an Eagles writer right now and 11th in the NFC East.

Hopefully I'll graduate College with a degree in Print or Broadcast Journalism and will someday be the beat writer for the Eagles or Phillies.

Feel free to leave a comment on my page requesting me to read your article. I will get to it and comment.

You know what... do teams really need a great closer to win the World Series?

Yes. Unfortunately for my Phillies...

Listening to other Phillies fans over the past few days, I grew tired of the lack of confidence they seem to have. Personally, I believe in this team like no other.

If you have time, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Thanks, CK

I love The Sporting News. And I look forward to its top 100 players every year.

That doesn't mean I can't disagree though...

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote The Year Too Early NFL All-Decade Team.

This is its baseball counterpart, The Half of a Year Too Early MLB All-Decade Team, and my 100th article here on Bleacher Report.

I wanted to pay my tributes to Jim Johnson by showing everyone how he did everything he could to not let his battle with cancer keep him away from football, the game he loved. If you have time, I'd really appreciate the read. Thanks.

Something is happening to Bleacher Report. Things are changing, and it's for the worst, I believe. I would really appreciate a look at this article. It would mean a lot. This isn't my typical writing topic, but if you do choose to read, please do read all the way through. You won't regret it (seriously).

Thanks, Christian Karcole
