About Thomas »

I earned my degree in Communications/Journalism. From 2005-2008 I worked for Patriots.com/Patriots Football Weekly as a staff writer.

After leaving the Patriots I was the lead writer for upstart MMA promotion, Bellator Fighting Championships, during the organization's first season. I traveled to fights, interviewed fighters and ran the blog. It was different than the NFL but an amazing experience nonetheless and I really enjoyed it.

I also do a lot of other freelance work in the areas of Mixed Martial Arts, the NFL, CFB and fantasy football.

Recently I signed on at Bleacher Report to be a Featured Columnist in charge of covering the Buffalo Bills. My work will be syndicated to web sites like ESPN, Yahoo!, Fox Sports, CBS Sports, among others, so I am very excited about this new venture. Bleacher Report is a great place to work and they cover sports the right way. I look forward to a long and prosperous career here at Bleacher Report.

I don't feel the need to tell you anymore other than I know what dude I am. I'm the dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude.

Hey,
This is an interesting take on the all too common madden cover curse. With Polamalu going down to an MCL sprain I had to talk about it. Enjoy!

no problem! You're analysis was great, you gave careful insight into some players that fans don't know much about yet and I truly enjoyed it. I'm new to B/R so its nice to see the appreciation too! I'm interested in reading about your perspectives especially since you had time working for New England. Can't wait for the season!!!
