Jason's Bio

I've lived in the Sacramento area for about 30 years. I grew up going to A's and Kings games with my Dad. I can remember when the Kings moved to town. I grew up rooting for the Kings, A's and 49ers and still do, as hometown blood runs deep. I watch and live sports for the great memories and incredible feats I've witnessed. I am a bit bitter at Jose Canseco for tainting my childhood memories with his cheating. When it comes to writing about sports I try to be as objective as possible, while still telling it like I see it and having insight of my own.

Hey Jason,

Two new articles I wrote this week which haven't been getting much coverage.

Check this one out from yesterday on Roy Hibbert & Greg Oden, two rising centers in the NBA:

Hey Jason, how are you?
I'm hoping to see some of your input on my new article: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/273629-stepping-back-from-sports-happy-birthday-to-eminem

It's different from your everyday Bleacher Report article, but I hope you enjoy.

Just be optimistic when reviewing it: my writing might be rusty for my time off of writing articles, plus...you'll find yourself stepping back from sports for a moment!
