My name is Ryan Michael and I am a Senior Writer for Bleacher Report.

I've done some local work in radio broadcasting but have yet to follow up in that particular area of sports coverage. My true interests reside with sports writing due to the format and venue it provides to gain both exposure and appreciation.

To date, I have accumulated over 1/2 of a million article reads: 535,000+ and counting.

I am very proud to have served as the Indianapolis Colts' Community Leader from March 4th, 2009 to January 25th, 2010.

I had to step down from the position due to a busy schedule that prevented me from doing as much as I would have liked to have done had more time been available.

I was also humbled to have been offered a "Featured Columnist" position (twice) for covering the Indianapolis Colts; but had to reluctantly decline for the same reasons that prevented me from continuing my service as our team's Community Leader.

Future Hall of Fame Wide Receiver: Terrell Owens

If any upstart writers would like for me to read any of their work, please do not hesitate to post links on my bulliten board; although I do apologize as I might not be able to leave comments on everyone's articles.

Beyond that, I will continue to write articles that I hope most will find to be both interesting and enjoyable. Any thoughts, questions, comments, or suggestions can always be left right here on my bulletin board or sent to me through PM.
