Hey Jeff, I'm writing a piece on last year's celtics team for a massachusetts newspaper and my editor wants me to interview 5 people about the season. I know that you're a Laker fan but I thought that it would be interesting to get the perspective of a non-Celtic fan about the team (mostly about the finals but you get the idea) I was wondering whether you would be interested in answering a few questions. If you are interested, drop me a line at miascone@gmail.com. Thanks for your time.

Hey

just writing to tell you that I am no longer writing for Bleacher Report. I have embarked on several new ventures of my own and they are in direct conflict content-wise with BR.

Two of my blogs (mrflushing.com and blognyg.com) have been incorporated into the Yardbarker network and and a third one - ny giant nation - is being run by sportsblognet.com

I also bought into a sports video site that is in its infancy - smackcaster.com - which we are still developing....

That's fine -- I was making a play on the term "Beat L.A." by saying "Boston More Than Beats L.A." since the win was by such a large margin.

If you go with yours, you don't need the "Celtics-Lakers" thing in the front, because it is redundant to have both teams names in the headline twice. The rest is totally fine; I had just thought of the other headline and thought it was a good place to use it. Your call of course.

Jeff,

You said that you wanted a copy of my book. I'd be happy to discuss that with you. I'm trying to find a way to get my email to you without it having it broadcasted to the whole world. Once I do, then we can get you a personalized autographed copy in your hand!

Good luck on your aspirations!

We can start by getting your articles in front of the selection committee members

http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/selectionprocess.jsp

Many of them are well-known football writers.

I can forward your articles to other open-source, sports social network sites if you want for publication.

Even though I used to play a bit of basketball, my game now is mostly hockey. That's usually why I come on BR, to read and write hockey. That being said, I'll be checking out your stuff more often now and rooting for your broadcasting career as info like yours helps get me back into the world of roundball!

Good luck and take care,

Hey Jeff, I heard your radio demo for the fame and fortune contest and I must say you really are quite good, eloquent and to the point at once is a difficult thing to pull off but you do it well. However, you should be more authoritative when you talk (you say in my opinion just a tad too much, there's no problem in saying it sometimes but other times just come out and say what you're thinking) Best of luck in the contest man, you got my vote.

Thanks for the compliment Jeff. I hate the assumption that black coaches should hire black coaches on race alone or that white coaches should hire on just that premise. It is an issue I feel strongly about. Ty Willingham has always said he wants to be hired on his merits and not the color of his skin. The BCA believes the same thing. They encourage schools to consider qualified minority coaches, but they do not advocate hiring just because of a persons race. I think that Willingham hires on the same standard. He is going to hire assistants based on their merits and not their ethnicity. Willingham is not just a great coach but he is also a great human being, and I hate when ND fans put him down with false information to justify the double standard the AD at ND created.

Jeff,

Just wanted to guage your interest, and I will be asking many other Bleacher Report NFL Writers...

How would you feel about taking part in a "way-too-early" 2008 NFL Season Predictions piece? It would be a 5 or 6 part article which would break down the schedules of each team, 4 weeks at a time, and try to predict their records after 4 games, 8 games, 12 games, 17 games and playoffs.

I'd like to get maybe 5 writers involved, so let me know if you're interested.

by Sam

Yeah I believe I edited that one. The DenverPost columnist really hammered Shanahan for not taking Jonathan Stewart in the first round. I am glad we didn't. I am perfectly content with having a Young/Henry or a Young/Hall duo. To beat the Chargers, Cutler needs time to deliver the ball and not have Merriman and Phillips in his face.

Really liked the Ryan Clady pick at 12. He's quick and fits the system well. Would've been happy with him or Branden ALbert there. Not too crazy about the Eddie Royal pick. Team already has BMarsh, Jackson, Stokley and Colbert. I'm worried the Royal pick was in case Marshall's freak injury was something worse than expected. Overall, it was good. Would've preferred a safety in the third or fourth and a guard somewhere in there. I've never been in a position where I've had to look up at the Chiefs' draft though. That's disheartening. Fan of the McFadden pick or did you want Dorsey?

by Sean

Hey, Jeff

View my analysis on the New Madden 09 and what I think of Favre in the cover, its pretty hilarious.

Maybe even Pick of the Day worthy. Remember vote for it.

hey yeah man no problem -- that was a really cool idea and you conveyed it really well.. i like your writing a lot. but yeah i wear my mustard costume to penn state basketball games and ESPN got me on camera for the Virginia Techa and Ohio State game. It was really cool cuz I text messaged my friends from home and told them to watch for me and then they saw me and I got calls from my parents and uncles it was cool.

Maybe a tradition to start.. but if I cover men's basketball for our student newspaper you think they'll let me in the press conferences with a condiment costume? That'd be awesome!

I have just written an article called "Oakland Raiders: Requirements, Free Agency Maneuvers and Draft day possibilities". I was wondering why i had not recieved any comments or as many reads when another article "State of the Union: Raiders..." written 7 hours after mine had recieved more reads and comments than my article. I also published two of the same article. Could you help me please? I would really appreciate your views on the article as well. Thank you!

Your right, and I also have all the games on DVD for the offseason, and last night I watched the first match-up against the Broncos. From that game, It showed that we had a good enough defense to keep us in the game, and with the moves we have already made this offseason, makes this defense fairly solid. You know, now that we have two lockdown corners, and strong safetys, the opponents run game will be more predictable, thus making it easier to stop, right? Teams absolutely killed us on random run plays, where we had our LB's drop into coverage on draw plays. I like Long on D, but other than him, McFadden is the best player in the draft, and I would be extatic watching him and Russell grow together and dominate, what would have happened at LSU, if McFadden went there instead. Three-peat maybe?

I looked into it also. He should really help out the D because he's good at the pass and at the run. As you know the Raiders struggle more at the run so i thought it was a nice pick up. But I haven't read much into the Raiders cap situation. They do have the #4 overall pick, could they even afford to sign someone that high? I think next season determines how this team will go for the next 10 years.

You've hit the nail on the head my friend. I won't hold you being a Bruin against you. I'm really good friends with former Bruin Dijon Thompson's Father. There is one day out of the year I don't root for the Bruins. That is because I remember the decade long annual A - Kicking administered by the Bruins. I can recall more than one trip to my local drug store in search of kaopectate. I'm a sports head and I have a take on everything although I don't feel like my take is the one and only take out there. If someone has a point bring it up and help out in the debate or discussion. I've been to several game and I've been booed personally in several cities San Diego, Kansas City, Denver, Seattle, New York, Boston, San Antonio, Dallas, Portland, Phoenix to name a few. I'm elated the Lakers are now set for today and the next 3-5 years the only problem is I'm not sure if I should thank Mitch Kupchek or David Stearn.

I appreciate the kind words, Jeff. You and I are eye-to-eye on every team except I'm a Bruin. I can't believe you were at that Finals' Game 2 in 1987. I started getting Laker season tix in 1989. My dad took me out of school in 85,87 and 88 to go to the victory parades. You can smell Laker fever in L.A. again. It's just a matter of days, if not hours, before the flags are out in full force. Some might be a little faded since they've served no purpose since 2004. I love this team. From top to bottom. The future is so bright, it's no wonder Jack Nicholson wears shades.

Hey Jeff,

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 Jeff!
