Greg, no need to apologize. Although I appreciate it greatly. I was just as mad as anyone else, for obvious reasons. 1) My account and all my previous work was taken from me, and 2) I, like all the mature users of B/R, respect the art of sports writing.

Again, I sincerely appreciate the apology, but I would have said/done the same as you were I in your shoes.

Have a good one.

I'm not sure what you've wrote in the past. Maybe something about your favorite team, the Pistons, an all time undrafted team, or an all time exploded in the NBA ala Dwyane Wade Team.

Hey,

Thanks for reading my article helping me win "pick of the day."

Ahhh.

Ya, Walt's a good dude. If you ever need any help, guidance, or a backboard to shoot your ideas off let me know. I'm involved with that one site, but for a few years I've been formulating plans for my own site.

Glad to see you're still writing regardless.

Haha, Walter Football... I'm not listed as a writer anymore I don't believe.

I was supposed to do a baseball mock draft, which is much harder than one might think. I was 25 picks in when the draft happened, and would have been way off.

I sent Walter an article I wrote, and it didn't get published.

Its too bad, Walter's a good guy, but I don't really have time for a site like that. I write for another site, www.fantasyfootballjungle.com, which I'm starting my 2nd year of, and I do a bunch of stuff with journalism at my college.

I like this site though.

How is it going for you over there?

I knew I knew that name from somewhere, small e-world man. I pictured you older.

I think that is the most likely scenario. If that does happen, look for Buffalo to possibly package its second and third round picks to move back up into the first and try to grab Talib or DRC.

well its unfortunate that Bryant Johnson had to sign with the 49ers. So now do you think that the reciever spot will be addressed by drafting Malcom Kelly?

haha yes Mandy I do. What would you like me to write about?
