  7. Is Ben Roethlisberger more clutch than Tom Brady and the rest of the league? I've created a new measure to test quarterback "clutchness". FInd out how Eli Manning faired.

  8. Hey Dan,

    Glad to see a huge New York Giants fan take the time to write an MMA article. I would say you caught everyone's attention with your Lesnar piece. Let me know if there is anything you need.

  9. It's Been a while since I last wrote an article .

    UFC 100 is over, But were Brock Lesnar's actions positive or negative for the UFC?

    Here are my thoughts. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/217699-brock-lesnar-bad-for-the-ufc

    Thanks, Farooq.
