About

My name is Randy Jobst and I am a diehard Philly sports fan despite living halfway across the country. When I was 8 I decided I didn't like any of midwestern professional sports teams, but there was something special about the Philly fan base that I wanted to be a part of. 17 years later I am still a diehard Eagles, Flyers, Phillies, 76ers fan despite still living nearly 1,000 miles away, though I have made the trip to see my beloved Eagles play. I don't think there is a more passionate fan base out there and it's an honor to both write about them and cheer for them. I am also a season ticket holder for the Drake Bulldogs Basketball Program and hope to see them take the next Butler-like step in the upcoming years.

    I read your posts on Bleacher Report all the time and really enjoy them. You're usually right on target. Thanks! However, you could use someone to do a quick grammar/spelling review before you post them. It would make your writing more effective. For example in "Reviewing the Eagles' 10 Biggest Scouting Combine Takeaways," you state, "...some were slower then previously though and couple players..." "Then" should be "than," and "though" should be "thought."

    You are my favorite on BR, but sometimes there are so many of these mistakes it's distracting. Just saying...

    Hi, my name is Giorgio Di Franco. I am the senior editor of www.footballbook.ca which is a website where we talk about nothing but NFL football.
    We are in our third year on the internet (we started as a local club 20 years ago) and by popular demand we have opened ourselves up to other contributors and now have a forum dedicated to people who would like to post articles/videos with their opinions on anything related to the NFL on our forum page in the “articles” section titled “footballbook.ca.”
    Like Bleacher Report footballbook.ca is a great way to reach your audience. We use vBulletin 4.14 which may be different from what you are used to on B/R but which is still an effective way to post your articles/videos.
    I am sending this invitation to you and a select group of writers because I have read your articles and although I haven’t always agreed with everything you’ve said, I’ve enjoyed them nonetheless and I feel they would contribute greatly to our audience.
