Hey Mitch,

I’ve started a weekly segment looking at a review of what has happened in the NBA for the week. Your support and commentary would be greatly appreciated as I continue to hone my writing and analytical skills

Thanks in advance for the support!

Go to the History page of the article in question. For the record, this is what I wrote:

"Good work, Mitch. Thank for the article."

I hope you cherish these words, and draw strength and inspiration from them as you continue in your writing career.

Hey Mitch ,

I hope you've been enjoying the new and improved Bleacher Report—we're really happy with the feedback we've received so far.

Just thought I'd let you know that next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements, and thus 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 Mitch !
