Hey Marcus—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our T wolves page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Dave Mo

Marcus,

Do you have any interest in launching a North Carolina Blog and being the editor? Email me at joe@sportstechnow.com if you are interested.

You're lucky you write good articles, I would never otherwise become a fan of a Miami fan. Maybe there's hope for you Hurricanes after all, haha.

I'm fairly sure Tiger shot -12 at the 2000 US Open and won by 15 shots. Both are records, but your numbers seem off.

Marcus,

The comment and the add were really nice of you, and very admirable. I honestly was expecting some long drawn out argument, but really to do what you did is mad love, I appreciate it. Real good looking out, but I'm still not forgiving you UNC cats for the victory against my Illini, lol. Take care man, and thanks again, I'll probably be using your example if I ever get into any similar debates on this site with anyone else

Hey Marcus, I hope my second reply back to you didn't upset you as much as the first one (on the article re: GSP not fighting training partners or friends). And I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed the Matt Brown and Amir fight, it was one of the very best fights on Tuf 7 IMHO.

But
Bull shit call
The cavileers suck!
Lebron gets every call

but you need to tell your boy Paul Pierce to shoot the ball

that block call against pierce with 45 seconds was maybe the worst call I have ever seen in my life

game 7 thought at home
CELTICS TAKE IT BY 20

Ray Allen
3-8 from the field and 0-3 from the 3 point line
9 points

Paul Pierce
5-15 from the field and 2-6 from the 3 point line
16 points

thanks for the pick of the day vote. "Why I Hate The San Antonio Spurs" was great.

I have Joe Smith on the brain. Second time I've done that. The first time, I caught it before posting.

Thanks for fixing it up for me...

Thanks for the 'article of the day' vote. I will keep my eye out for your new work.

Looking at it Russel played with 5 future hall of fame players over his career. He was on the dynasty but I argue that they only win three without him.

Let us call an end and say that Jordan was the best guard and Russel the best big man.
