About Ben »

My name's Ben Spicer, I'm 14 years old and a freshman in High School. Obviously I'm a big sports fan, mainly of College Football, Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League, but I also follow the NBA and NFL somewhat. I'm a knowledgeable sports fan, and like many of you, I look forward to a career in sports broadcasting or journalism. I'm looking forward to sharing my articles and opinions on different sports matters with you guys, and looking forward to meeting some new friends. See you guys around!

Hey Ben, I saw you mentioned on somebody's bulletin board as being a very talented young writer and I was amazed and pleasantly surprised by how well you write, both content wise and grammatically. I'm one of the two Jaguars community leaders and we're always looking for talented writers to do opinion/contrast pieces so if you're interested in writing something about the Jags I'd love to hear from you!

Mad props on your writing, Ben, and keep it up!

I realized the BCS is better than a play-off, and decided it needed to be defended. I'd love your input.

I'd appreciate it if you had the chance.
