About

I graduated from Valparaiso University in May 2010 with a degree in political science. White at VU, I wrote sports for the student newspaper, The Torch, contributed to the sports staff at the radio station, and had a sports talk show. In December 2009, I did a 12-hour radio marathon.

I have a deep passion for sports and journalism. I'm early in my swim up the long, vast river that is the journalism field. I'm a featured columnist for the Memphis Grizzlies. In addition to blogging for Bleacher Report, I'm an editing intern.

I'm a sports and news reporter for the Blackwell Journal-Tribune in Blackwell, OK.

Also, I'm a runner. I've run three marathons, finishing two.

    You got it, Tom. Definitely true regarding the draft. So much quality even in the middle of the first round.

    You're welcome! Glad you liked the changes. I'm still getting the hang of going general-to-specific in intros too. :)

    I waited way too long and took Paul Goldschmidt. I dropped him for Chris Davis a couple of weeks ago. May need to make another move soon.

    No problem. Yeah, the NFC East is going to be a nightmarish division to get out of.

    Yeah, that might be a good idea. I think what happened is that the autolinker latched onto NBA as a B/R page that it could link, and that overrode your intended link. Annoying, because the autolinker often doesn't know what it's doing ... it links the Carolina Panthers when you're talking about South Carolina, or the Arizona Cardinals when you want the Louisville Cardinals.

    Sorry for the late response. In terms of your article, I changed first round to Round 1 to help with the aesthetics of the sub-headlines in your article. However, within the body of an article, first round or Round 1 are both acceptable.

    Hope this helps,
    James

    Sure thing, Tom. It sounds like it. Definitely some solid additions.
