James's Bio

I'm a University of Florida alum so obviously I bleed Orange & Blue and my favorite teams are the Florida Gators (football and basketball). I've been a Dodger fan ever since they were in Brooklyn and so my favorite baseball team is the Los Angeles Dodgers, Currently I live in the Phoenix, AZ area and root for the Arizona State Sun Devils (football, basketball, baseball). Also I'm a movie buff, love good sports movies as well as the classics from the 40's, 50's and 60's.

I think IE 7 may work, yes. Why don't you try it and keep me posted...

Thanks James,

Hey James,

I.E. 6 is a very old browser that is not optimized for Bleacher Report.

Would you do me a favor and try downloading Firefox and let me know if you still have the same issues?

Thanks as always...apologies for the hassle.

Hey James,

Sorry for the delay here—I've been backed up since the holidays.

Okay, I'm guessing it's an issue with your browser. What are you using? (Internet Explorer 6.0, I.E. 7.0, Safari, Firefox, etc.) Mac or PC?

Let me know further details and we'll try to sort it out. Thanks so much.

Hey James,

I'm guessing that your trying to upload too big of a photo—the system can only handle photos that are 500k or smaller at the moment (we're working on increasing this).

As for licensed photos: we ask you to only upload photos you own the copyright too or have permission to use. We also have thousands of licensed photos in our archives that you are welcome to use—to put one of these in your articles, simply type the name of the player/team you're looking for in the article photo field (where it says "Search: Type a Team or Player Name Here"). You'll then have a chance to crop the image to your liking.

Please let me know if you have further questions. Keep the great stuff coming!

James, welcome to BR! I am the Cubs community leader, but love all sports, mainly baseball. Despite your Dodgers beating my Cubs, if you need any help, just let me know by leaving a message on my Bulletin Board or via my e-mail (which you can find in my profile). I thought your first article was very promising, look forward to more. Personally, I liked the Pride of the Yankees but maybe that one was too old for your liking. Keep up the good work!
