About TJ »

I'm from the city that also plays host to the Pro Football Hall Of Fame and Fawcett Stadium. Canton, Ohio. Perhaps that's where my love for the game of football originates from. Or perhaps it was the years of watching and then playing the sport that gives it a very special place in my heart.

I'm 20 years old and currently working a job that I hate in a restaurant, I'm good at it, but it's not a career option. I'm looking into college for journalism, perhaps Miami Of Ohio or Akron at the moment.

I'm dating a wonderful girl named Shawna and I'm loving being a father to her daughter LaDonna. Those two have my heart in a vice grip that's never going to be released.

I'm 100% without a doubt a diehard Steelers fan. As far as other sports go, I'll watch the NBA (Lakers) and NHL (Penguins) in the playoffs. I don't really pay attention to the MLB but I can force a conversation if it comes up in everyday life (Indians). Call me a frontrunner for any sport except for the NFL and you'll get no argument because I honestly don't pay enough attention to them to argue too much.

I do my best to provide an unbiased yet intelligent and thoughtful look into the world of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the NFL as a whole, but like every other human I have my own fallacies.

My work is currently published on one other site (besides my blog which is just in the planning/getting off the ground stages.) and that would be Sports Jabber (http://forums.sportsjabber.net/sjforums/index.php?referrerid=14) If you're looking for another platform to get your work read by hundreds of more people join and post your articles there, and feel more than free to post a link to the article on Bleacher Report in the topic at SJ. We'll do all we can to get your work out there.

If there's ever any need to contact me and I'm not on here, feel free to email me at TJJenkins89@hotmail.com

Some of my articles may not make it to Bleacher Report, most will, but some will be exclusively posted at Fan Huddle, http://www.fanhuddle.com/pittsburghsteelers

Any questions you have about me, feel more than free to shoot my way and I'll do my best to answer them.

TJ,

Pick your pleasure. You can either check out my recap of the fabulous Dolphins win over the Panthers last night, or my preview of the upcoming contest between the Heat and the Raptors; or you could check them both out.

If you have the time to check either of them out, let me know what you think…lol

This is an important piece that needs to be read by all B/R members.

Hopefully you read it and even spread word, so everyone can see things from a new perspective.

I'm thinking of majoring in Medicine, I've always had the desire to do so. Another is journalism, many told me to get into it, but I just don't see myself as a great writer. Besides, Science and Math are my good subjects haha.

And thanks for stopping by BTA! We're not that active as you can see, so it's good to see you there every now and then. I'll be getting on SJ shortly

Yeah I'm watching the game right now :)

My life's been going good, school is always the biggest concern as I'm getting ready for college.

And yeah, I'll stop by SJ a lot more, I knew you are there, but I never got interested in the forum as a whole ever since I signed up haha. But I'm going to start posting there every now and then, just for you :)

Eric Mangini has been an utter failure in Cleveland.. A big part of that has been trying to be like his former mentor, Bill Belicheck.. Heres a message to Eric: He Will Never Be On Belichick's Level. Appreciate any feedback you can give on this piece.
