About Andrew »

Hello everyone!

Born in Cape Town, SA, but spent a portion of my youth in Randallstown, Md, where I began following sports. Naturally I'm a Ravens/Orioles fan and go to the games whenever possible.

Football is a burning passion in my heart, and writing has always been a hidden ambition, so Bleacher Report seems like a perfect place for me!

Agree, disagree, offend, appease, whatever emotions that my contributions may arouse, I hope that you will find it worth reading!

Hey Andrew,

I just finished the first half of the mother of all slide shows. I focused on the 100 greatest NFL players of the past 25 years who didn't attend a Division I college. This is part 1, give it a look and let me know what you think! Look out for part 2 coming soon! Thanks!

No, the season doesn't start for four months. But I don't care. I went ahead and wrote my probably too early Baltimore Ravens preview. This was 12 pages long on word, so I'd love your input! Thanks!

Hey Andrew,

I just finished ANOTHER slideshow about the NFL Draft, focusing on the best draft class of each NFL team. If you get a chance, give it a read and let me know what you think, thanks!

I really enjoyed your "Busts" article. You really did your research and gave us some great information!

And thanks for the fan add! Much appreciated.

Keep up the great work!

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, just tag it with whatever is appropriate. "NFL" was already on there and I put a "2009 NFL Draft" tag; those are the most important ones. The regular "NFL Draft" tag is more for general NFL Draft articles that aren't specific to this year (for example, Worst Draft-Day Busts of All Time).

Hey Andrew,

I have recently been chosen as a contestant in AM 1570 WNST’s King of Baltimore Sportstalk Competition to see if I can fulfill a dream of blogging and doing radio for a living. Since you were kind enough to become a fan of my work here on Bleacher Report, I wanted to personally invite you to take a look at my new blog at WNST.net. The link can be found here:

http://wnst.net/wordpress/lukejones/

Please read and comment (as always, agree or disagree as much as you want!) on my work. The competition will also include a voting element that will begin in the near future. My goal is to bring you the same analysis and focus on sports (with a Baltimore-based focus) that I have tried to do since joining Bleacher Report in August 2008.

Also, I encourage you to pass on the link to anyone else you know who may enjoy my work. Thank you so much for your support!

I really want your input on this. Who is the greatest player in NFL history? In my ultimate list, I, as you may guess, list the top ten players in NFL history. Will Rice make the cut. Who gets the edge: Rice or Hutson? What surprising versatile guy gets the No. 1 spot?

There are plenty of underrated players. They play for bad teams and play well, but because they play for bad teams, they get no cred. I think Nick Markakis is the most underrated player in all of baseball. Here's my case. Please comment.
