About

Amateur writer who got his start through writing a sports blog titled the Daily BM. After getting a lot of good feedback, I decided to try and get my stuff out there more on the Bleacher Report.
It has always been a dream of mine to write, concentrating mostly on NBA, NFL, MLB, while being knowledgeable enough to dabble in Soccer, Tennis, Golf and Horse Racing. Most importantly I like being able to give the sports fan a business side of the sport. Born in Philadelphia, Raised in Florida. While in Florida, I was lucky enough to have season tickets to the first three years of the Miami Heat's existence. Some called that three years of suffering, I call is three years of growing as a sports fan. I have returned to Philadelphia and now belong to the groups of suffering Philadelphia Fans who have not had a title in 25 years. (someone please remind me to change this when it hits 26)
But more importantly, I will not write with bias, the opinion will always be real, no matter what team. My favorite time of the year are free agency periods, the time around the draft, and the week surrounding the trade deadlines.
Last place or first place, I will always feel the same way about my favorite teams. Thanks for reading!

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

    I've been spending time on our NBA 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

    Hey, thanks for the comment and the pick of the day! It means a lot to considering I just started writing these articles the other day. It's nice to hear an educated opinion. Sorry about the Heat this year hopefully they can put the right pieces around Wade and be competitive again in a year or two...he's one hell of a player to be sitting on the bench with a towel over his head.
