About Paul F. »

I got my official start in sports media in 1997. Before that, I used to write about sports on the internet at newsgroups like rec.sport.boxing.pro and various other fledgling sites.

Most of my recent media-related ventures have involved producing and directing web video. During the 2008 presidential primaries and general election campaign, I and/or my work was written-up/featured in or on: the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, C-SPAN, The Hotline and a number of foreign news websites.

If you'd like to see more of my and my brother John's work, here are a few places to check out:

Thanks in advance. - HB

We witnessed an absolutely eventful US Open this time, dotted with numerous incidents. Here's a pictorial compilation of all those moments in the singles draw which stood out and caught our attention during those 15 days.

Tedy Bruschi retires, and with him, one of the last remaining symbols of New England's No. 1 defense in their dynasty years is gone.

Hi Paul,
The US Open Draw is released. I've analyzed the Men's draw, in addition to the Top Ten players' form and recent performance, and made some projection in an unconventional way.
Check it out. I am sure you'll like it.
Thank you so much,

Hey, I just completed my second article on Duke Football, trying to become a Duke Football Featured Columnist. I preview the Top 5 Offensive Players to keep an eye on in 2009. Since I am trying to become a FC, please leave any feedback that you can, what I should do differently next time, things I can do to improve the article, etc. Thanks in advance. I appreciate the support!

Paul,
It was a pleasure to read the piece, and I see you do very well on the site even though you have only 14 articles posted. Great work, keep it up. Maybe I can learn a thing or two about getting massive reads.

Cheers
