About

Follow me on twitter: @michaelmoraitis

My name is Michael Moraitis and I'm 26 years old. I'm born, raised and currently living in New York.

I'm a huge Yankees, Knicks and Rams fan. Rams fan, you ask? One man, Flipper Anderson, is responsible for that. He was my favorite player growing up and the rest, as they say, is history.

On B/R, I'm a Featured Columnist for the Yankees and I also write for the Nets, Knicks, Jets and Giants on occasion as well.

I also do work with B/R's TNT team when I get a chance, mostly at night. That means I'm not getting much sleep nowadays, but it's all worth it at the end of the day.

I always have my finger on the pulse of all sports in all parts of the country, so don't be surprised if you see a piece from me outside my comfort zone because I have an opinion about everything and anything I can wrap my head around.

Thanks as always for reading my stuff, without you readers I'd be nothing. Any questions or comments, feel free to drop them in the box below and I'll do my best to get back to you.

    Hey, Michael.

    I just wanted to say thank you for the advice about being a Featured Columnist. I gave it a try and then reapplied to be a Nationals F/C.

    The B/R staff liked what they saw and want to give me a trial as a Nationals F/C.

    Thanks again, Michael.

    MM: I'm a lifelong Peyton fan and your 2012 predictions (4,689 yards, 40 touchdowns and 13 interceptions) are scary! Peyton's career best yardage in 2010 was 4700 with receivers he knew at least three years. Also, he was forced to throw a career high in attempts/completions because he had no running game. The Broncos' running game eliminates that risk. Also, 40 TDs? Peyton's career numbers show he throws 30-33 TDs every year on average. He won't need to throw 40 with a good running game. 13 INTs? That is his typical year playing with receivers he knows well. I'd think he might easily have 18 INTs this year. Let's remember one thing, if there is superior play on the offensive line, you'll get superior play in the running game and at the QB. Without blocking, not even Obama could score all by himself.

    I've read a lot of your articles and i see that you are a great writer so I'm just wondering, do you get paid at all for your articles? If so how do you get paid as in is it per article or reads and comments per article? If i apply to become a writer how fast can I become a paid writer. Please answer me I would really like to start and get some money.

    Michael, I was actually accepted into the internship program a few months ago. I'm really excited for it to begin at the end of May. I'm also in the process of completing the B/R U program.

    I'm trying my best to work up to being a Featured Columnist. I'll definitely keep your advice in mind, though.

    Thanks for all the help, Michael. It means a lot.

    Thanks a lot for the tip, Michael. I'm going to add NY Yankees into my most recent article after I post this. I usually find it difficult to include many key words into my headlines, given the fact that there is a character limit.

    Guess I'll have to be a bit more creative!

    Thanks again, Michael.
