About Jack »

I am a fanatical Chicago Sports & NASCAR fan and also a long time resident of Bolingbrook, Illinois. I have always had the "itch" to be a Sports Reporter / Scribe, now I have a chance to fulfill that urge through blogging and now here at "Bleacher Report"! This is a great site with great writers and people, and I am happy to be a member of the family! A special "Thanks" to all the new friends I have met and who have made me feel quite welcome here! Comments always welcome!! You can catch me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/JackInChicago

    As President of the Les Miles Fan Club I took a big hit on Saturday Night but is Les really on the Hot Seat?

    Thanks in advance. - HB

    Jack, in reviewing your article "Nascar's Race City Braces for Cuts as Recession Hits Pit Road", it really is almost word for word from Gene Laverty's article from Bloomberg. Cutting and pasting to that extent is really bordering on plaigarism. I know you credited the site but still you can't use articles word for word like that - you need to make them your own. Please watch this in the future - it is something we take very seriously on B/R and on the NASCAR page. Thanks and you can email me at mjgwelb@aol.com if you would like to further discuss.
    Thanks.

    I just stuck it back on as a response to yours, glad to see another fan who realize how bad it is with the Series.

    No I didn't like the comment, so I deleted it and was going to repost a better more indepth comment. On a recent update for the site, they added a edit and delete button that the commenter see. But after reading comment should have left it alone.
