About

I'm Ben and I recently graduated from Bentley University with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and a minor degree in Sports Management. Here at Bleacher Report I'm a Featured Columnist for Major League Baseball and the Boston Red Sox and am also a member of B/R's Breaking News Team. I've also completed the sportswriting internship this past summer as well as worked on the Winter Gap Group team.

I'm a former sports and copy editor for Bentley's official student newspaper, The Vanguard. I've written for NESN, The Waltham News Tribune, The Somerville News and The Wellesley Townsman. My Bleacher Report work has been featured on the websites of The Boston Globe, the San Francisco Chronicle and the Los Angeles Times.

    Please tell me why you referred to UCLA as the Bears, I am relatively sure they are the Bruins.

    Great piece on RA Dickey. Loved the use of stats for context.

    Congrats on the Cotton Bowl prediction. Not really surprised a t.u. fan would favor an OU QB over an Aggie.

    Good call on Landry Jones in the Cotton Bowl!

    By the way, congrats on so many reads, but real success as a sports writer will come when you can write a piece objectively without bias based on your favorite teams. Your article about Jones and Manzeil was obviously based on your bias toward t.u. and their coach being your favorites.

    Hey Ben, I noticed to are a fan of that minor university in Austin...no wonder you wrote that "stinks on ice" piece about Jones outplaying Manzeil...How do you like the Aggies now?

    My recommendation is more research and insight before writing some of your pieces, unless of course, you are going for the comedy angle.

    Hey Benny, what happened to Florida's pass defense "squashing" Louisville's passing defense? I didn't see any defense or offense for that matter from Florida.
