Claudio's Bio

Im a graduate of Brooklyn College in NYC and have my journalism degree and hope to attain a post-graduate degree as well. I have my own website, liveabovemediocrity.com, which follows me in my daily travels and life and is my official blog.

My favorite teams are the Spurs, Padres, and Lions. I know...strange picks huh? Well, I just fell in love with these teams in the early 90's when they had D-Rob, Barry, and Gwynn on them.

    Comments/additions etc much appreciated.

  3. Hey Claudio just finished up my interview with Randy Moss (HUMOR) check it out let me know what you think.

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/169407-my-official-br-interview-with-randy-moss-humor

  4. Hey what's up? If you can I'm trying to talk some sports with people, and get some opinions on sports related topics, email me at emcoltsfan7@gmail.com if you can, if not post on my profile wall. Thanks.

  5. If you missed the email, the week two-ish Spurs roundtable is up.

  6. I finally got the damn thing up, albeit with some serious formatting issues. I asked one of the main editors for tips on how to handle posting this roundtable in the future.

    Content wise, it came out great. Try to disgregard clustered sentences and the six page length until I can figure out how to remove the bugs and cut it back down to three-four pages.

    Thanks again for your great contributions. The Spurs beat the Mavs Tuesday and I would say our roundtable beats theirs, even if I did steal the idea from them.

  7. How about that 20T thriller in Dallas? The battle of the best of Texas was a hard one, they kept crawling back at us. But Manu's 2 clutch 3s and Bonner's 100% shooting armed us ready. We prevail again, lets keep it up!

  8. Well, send me an email (or write in on my B/R profile), so I can send you the format when I figure it out. There will be a set of questions that everyone answers, a place to talk about the players and then recaps and analysis of the games that week and the next.

  9. Hey, send me an email at robertkleeman@mail.utexas.edu if you would be interested in participating in the weekly Spurs rountable I mentioned below.

    I asked the four people on this site who I know are Spurs fans, including you, to join, and one has responded. Let me know ASAP and maybe we can do one this week.

    I would love to have as many people on board as possible.

  10. Claudio,
    I am about to write a piece on the Spurs guard glut, but before I do, would like to see if you and the other Spurs fans would want to join?

    The article theme is simple: This is the deepest backcourt Gregg Popovich has ever coached, so what should he do with it? Who gets the minutes, who sits and what lineups would be most effective?

    Let me know by tonight if you're interested. And, some Dallas Mavericks fans have been doing a weekly roundtable. I dig it. So, us Spurs fans should do one, too.

    We would come up with some standard questions to answer, review the week's games, highlight the standout players and preview the upcoming ones. Let me know if you're interested.

  11. hey i was wondering you would want to give me your thoughts on my article "Analyzing the Return of Manu Ginobili"

  12. Hey thanks for the add as a favorite writer!
    and glad to see another Spurs fan, I like David Robinson also. Really helped Tim become a better player and passed the torch accordingly.
    loved your TP9 article btw

  13. I just published an extended piece on the Spurs season if you are interested.

    Nice work on that Tony Parker article.

  14. Once I edit it, the original article is automatically updated. It may take a few minutes, but I think it usually updates right away.

    I should probably mention...any time an article is edited you are free to keep only the edits you like; so you should always feel free to go back and change anything you don't agree with.

    Also, here is the B/R style guide: http://bleacherreport.com/pages/styleguide?primary_nav=write

    That should give you an idea of why I changed some things I did, if you were curious.

    Like I said, if you have any other questions at all, you should feel free to ask and I'll do my best to help you out.
