Sam's Bio

I am a lifelong Dolphins fan who thoroughly believes that devotion to one's team does not excuse the lack of a rational perspective. I'm here to avoid "Phinaticism" and embrace cautious optimism. Enjoy.

You can read much more of my Dolphins news and commentary at my site http://www.phinaticism.blogspot.com

Hey Sam,

I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Sam!

Thanks for the note. I was duly impressed by your reference to Guttman's "From Ritual to Record."
I studied history and have an MA. I recently just published a book, a biography on Henry Chadwick, the man who invented sports journalism. See www.henrychadwick.com

Loved your "Same old story in Miami" article.

Quick hitter for you: Ronny Brown...bust or yet to breakthrough? I can't decide.
