About Justin »

Justin suffers from Homer-itis. A condition which means no matter how bad his teams are, he always has optimism and always knows that soon enough he will get to see a championship won in his liftime by his teams. Condition is rarely developed outside of Cleveland, Ohio, only when the individual is an Indians, Browns or Cavs fan, and in some cases Buckeye fans. .
On a more proffesional note. I was an intern writer and assistant sports editor at TheLakeCountySentinel.com, as the Indians, and Cavaliers beat writer, part time Browns beat, columnist and NFL Pick 'Em writer. I also covered the Lake County Captains (Low Class A affliliate of the Cleveland Indians) doing feature stories on players in the Indian minor league organization.
I am currently enrolled at Lakeland Community College as an aspiring Journalist with plans to transfer to the University of Akron. I write for the Lakelander and am a sports talk host on Lakeland's campus.
For 2 years I also worked for WELW 1330 AM in Eastlake, Ohio on a Sports Central and Captains Central (Captains pregame show) and a color anyalist for High School basketball in northeast Ohio.

Hey Justin—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our Indians page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Dave Mo
