Billy's Bio

My names Billy DeCosta. I'm a life long Red Sox fan from New Bedford, Mass. I'm 18 years old, I spend at least 4 to 5 hours a day catching up with the sports world, and I could talk about the Pats, C's and BoSox all day.

I'm going to junior college next year in communications. I'm not sure which way I'm going yet, but writing's something I'm pretty good at, so I'll go where the road takes me.

Now, I am from Boston, but spending those four to five hours a day on this stuff, I get to know the leagues pretty well, so I really don't show homerism in my comments and articles.

If you like what I'm doin' and want to lend some advice, leave me a message, it's always much appreciated.

  3. Hi Billy!

    After your contributions to my "One-and-Done" article last week, I thought you might be interested in this intriguing read:

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/203425-making-the-nba-age-limit-work

    While I don't agree with all of the writer's suppositions, he does make some very clever suggestions. He's rather new and could use some traffic, so a read & comment would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  4. Billy-

  5. Hey Billy,

    People of my generation look at them fondly as the players they watched as little kids, people of other generations may just look at them as great players. I created a slide show highlighting the best players of the 1990's. If you get a chance, take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
