I'm a journalist and sports enthusiast born in raised in Los Angeles, and yes I have a slight west coast bias. I covered the Lakers for two years with Examiner.com and have written for various publications throughout my career.

I make connections between sports and pop culture to try to create entertaining, funny, but also informative pieces.

Oh yeah, and I played baseball in college so that's got to give me some credibility, right?

    Strong possibility of the NFL being diluted in quality, by extending the regular season to 18 games. My solution generates additional league revenue and increased competition, without sacrificing the quality and integrity of the NFL.

    I enjoyed reading the 101 Most Despised Athletes in Sports History. What you have written is the truth. I left some comments about some of the athletes with reference to back up the comments. My reason was "101 Most Despised Athletes In Sports History" is one of the greatest articles published in BR.
