    Hi Brian. I didn't get that note, but I'm guessing it didn't refer to block quotes. Since block quotes are indented and put in those blue boxes, that suffices for denoting that it's a quote (and thus not plagiarized). (As noted at the bottom of this Writers Blog post: http://blog.bleacherreport.com/2011/05/17/writing-tip-use-block-quotes-wisely-and-liberally/.) Hope that makes sense.

    What up? About the Federer or Sampras question definitely got to go with Sampras.

    Hey,
    I talked with the editors and there's no problem with the Youkilis story. Everything is cool. Thanks for getting back to me on it. Keep up the good work.

    mays over ruth? how many games did mays win as a pitcher? ruth won 94 and was one of the best pitchers in baseball until they found that he was the best hitter in baseball.

    Hey Brian
    I'm a huge fan and love your writing. Bleacherreport, especially your writing, has inspired me to start writing about sports. I considered signing up for bleacherreport but instead decided to try to make my own website. http://bustasports.com/ is the link, and it would mean a ton if you checked it out and gave me some feedback. Feel free to give me positive or negative feedback, either way it means a lot. You can post on my profile or email me at lmssports@hotmail.com
    I also have a couple questions, so do you have a personal email I can reach you at?
    Thanks a lot and a reply would be huge for me.

    Brian,

    I read a lot of your work, especially when it concerns the NBA. The hot topic right now is Jeremy Lin, and unfortunately racism is beginning to work its way into the story.

    I enjoy your thoughts about basketball stories, and would love to hear what you think about my most recent piece.

    Thanks,
    Brandon
