Dave's Bio
Dave Finocchio is a Founder of Bleacher Report and leads the Content Team.
With his aspirations of realizing a professional ping-pong career nothing more than a distant memory, Dave lives a life of regret and anguish. Some day, he hopes to reopen "Beach, Blanket, Bablyon" at the family business in San Francisco.
If all goes according to plan, Dave will launch extensive radio, billboard, and restroom flier marketing campaigns in Nebraska and Western Iowa to promote the musical. He will leverage his success to raise an army of patrons, and reclaim the Peña Adobe and greater Vacaville in the name of his Spanish ancestors.
Dave's mood is impacted by the performance of the following teams: Notre Dame Football, Notre Dame Basketball, Duke Basketball, San Francisco 49ers, San Francisco Giants, Golden State Warriors, and East Dillon High School.

Dave,
I thought you might like this piece. It’s not just your standard “breaking news” piece about a trade, although it does note the trade of Jeremy Hermida from the Florida Marlins to the Boston Red Sox. Let me know what you think in the comments section.

Hello, I would like you to read this very important story based on bleacher report. I have taken the time to explain in detail some of the issues members are facing here. I am doing this because I do not believe the bosses are aware of these issues. I hope you will also take the time to read your community member comments. Thanks you for your time and God Bless.
