About

My name is George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents. (It's a Seinfeld reference, people.)

Yes, the "do-the-opposite" episode.

Like George Costanza, I found myself wandering down an unmistakable path, plagued by monotony and routine. I decided to make a career change.

A former teacher with a Master's degree in Creative Writing, I'm eager to apply my experiences to my first love: sports.

I'm currently a Quality Editor for Bleacher Report's Breaking News Team as well as a Buffalo Bills Featured Columnist. B/R provides me with a medium to both experiment with my craft and share my insights about the sports and teams that I love most. I'm excited to be a member of this community, and I look forward to what happens along the way.

    First off, I love the 'do the opposite' episode! Second, thanks for becoming a fan. I see you've written and now work on the editing side of B/R — how have you enjoyed the two experiences? If you have any questions about the site or suggestions as to how we can improve it, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks again, Josh.

    Thanks for the edits. I am really embarrassed by some of these simple mistakes you keep catching . I'll have to keep more focus next time.

    Josh, I really enjoy your writing! How long were you a teacher for and what level did you teach (MS, HS, college, etc?). I teach elementary and love it, but sports writing has definitely become a passion of mine as well!

    Congratulations Josh, on another Top Writer Award... Wow, five out of the last six months is impressive! As you may have noticed, I'm no longer writing columns on the Bills because I passed my trial and became a Redskins FC July 1. I'm really psyched about it because I live 10 minutes from Redskins Park, so it's easy for me to check out training camp and take notes. Do you have credentials for Bills camp? I emailed BR's Credentials Department and haven't heard back.

    It's okay though, because I rallied to take first place in readership in July. So, the month ended on a high note!

    FYI... I'm from Rochester and used to cover the Bills as a TV beat reporter for Time Warner, so I still follow the team closely. Redskins-Bills Preseason Game #1 should be interesting, to say the least...

    Take care and keep up the great work!

    Hey Josh, thanks as always. I was wondering if you knew how to better format that article. I wanted all of the pictures to show up, but obviously that didn't happen. I've seen others pull it off, but I'm not sure how. Tips?
