About Derrick »

Hello all! I am a 26 year old father of twins. I am happily married and work a full time job as a Computer Technician. I am an avid sports fan, some would call me a total sports nut. When I'm not watching sports on tv, I'm either at a sporting event live, reading about sports, playing sports with my kids, writing about sports, or playing sports video games. HaHA maybe not to that extent but you get the picture. I would like to thank the good people who maintain the Bleacher Report site. This is a great outlet for sports fans and amateur writers, I am enjoying every minute I am able to spend on this site.

Derrick,

I am trying to talk Bleacher Report into adding outdoor sports to the mix here. I was thinking about fishing as the main one. There are tournaments, teams, players, events, and a lot of fans. It also gives a venue to look into techniques, etc. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for being a fan, your article is what made me decide to write mine. I wrote it in a hurry but I think I got my point across. I definitely agree with not taking one of these QB's this year.
