About Alex »

Like everyone on the site, I live and breath sports.

I am from Denver, Colorado and will do whatever it takes to make sure that my future involves sports.

I joined this site to get my feet wet in the area of sports journalism. I would love to become a main attraction on this site and take my experience with me to the next level.

Most people who write about sports want the dream job of working at a major sports network like ESPN. While I would never turn down the chance, I would like to be a local sports writer. Read the sports section in your local newspaper or listen to the local sports talk radio. They are filled with information and different opinions that are never brought up on in the major sports media outlet.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Dwayne Wade, Tom Brady, John Lynch, Champ Bailey, Devin Hester, Reggie Bush, Brandon Marshall, Troy Tulowitzki, Matt Holiday, David Wright, just to name a few...
Favorite Sports Teams

L.A. Lakers, Denver Nuggets,Chicago Bulls, Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears, Colorado Rockies, NY Mets, and the New York Yankees!
All Time Sports Moment

Colorado Rockies run to the world series, Denver Broncos Back to Back at the Super Bowl, and the Vince Carter Dunk at the 2005 NBA All-Star Game in Denver! If you watch basketball, you know which dunk I'm talking about!
Most Memorable Game Attended

Been to a lot of Denver Nuggets games and a few Colorado Rockies games. Nothing to amazing, but to me the most memorable was to be able to see the New York Yankees last season come to when they came to Colorado. That was amazing!
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

19-0 in the NFL. Just ask the New England Patriots.
Ruth or Mays?

Babe Ruth! This man put a curse on the Boston Red Sox. What more is there to say...
Unitas or Montana?

Joe Montana. Unitas may have paved the road for players like Joe Montana, but Joe played is a faster more physical era. He made Jerry Rice what he is today. Without Joe to take him under his wing, Jerry would have never been the player he was.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele. I' m not going to pretend to know a lot about the game of soccer and it's players, but I do know from some of the clips on the internet the Pele was an amazingly gifted athlete.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Pac 10. I live for football and no team has been more dominate in the last 5-8 years than the USC Trojans.

Hey Alex—Jeff 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 jeff@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Jeff
