About Matthew »

so, after being on this site for 5 months now i have come to realize that people can't handle the truth. listen, you are on B/R for a reason, NOT ESPN. As an intern for ESPN, i think i know a good story when i read one. i will be the first one to admit that i haven't a clue on proper spelling, what sentence goes where, and what on earth a fragment means, but i know a good read from an incredibly researched boring one. you guys and your potd are comical. i would love to see the best article actually win but that rarely happens. i do have a select few favorites on here that will be well known, i guanrantee it. i will keep them nameless but yes it is true that i have favorites on here.

if you dont like what i have to comment suck it up. every good writer should know they are bound to be critisized every now and then. AND YES PEOPLE/WRITERS ON BLEACHER REPORT--SOME OF YOU ABSOLUTELY ARE HORRENDOUS AND HAVE SENIOR WRITING NEXT TO YOUR NAME. I will admit it!

We all know about Coach Belichick, but who are the other faces behind the Patriots coaching success?

Hey, how's it going?? I just finished up an article that is kind of a rebuttal to an article that annoyed the crap out of me:

Just hoping you'll give it a look. Thanks!!

I generally don't post articles on everyones board, usually the same 5-10 people, and I usually write each person an individual message, but this one is really special to me and I am hoping everyone can take a few minutes to read it. Thank you. I appreciate it.

Hey Matthew,

Decided to have some fun with this. It's a humor piece about Survivor for athletes. I had a blast writing it, and I hope you get a good laugh out of it :)

If you get the time, I'd love to hear what you think. If not, no worries.

As always, really appreciate the support!

Hey Matthew,

I think the best part of sports is the passion involved, so I wrote an opinionated piece on why I think a perfect athlete is capable of crying, both win or lose. I’d love for you to check it out and let me know what you think. If you’re too busy, no worries.

Thanks, as always, for the support! It’s much appreciated ☺

Hey Matthew,

I had an awful day today, so I took it out on MLB. Here's my first humor piece on "the worst case scenarios for all 30 teams." If you get the chance, I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think.

As always, thanks for the support, and I hope you enjoy the read/makes your day better!

Hello Matthew:

Dwyane Wade has ripped up the stat sheet in recent games. Should he be this year's MVP?

Hey Matthew,

Yao Ming has done so much for the game of basketball, that I felt compelled to write a tribute. I'd love for you to take a look and let me know what you think! Again, I hope my passion comes through and it's a good read.
