Thayne's Bio

Thayne Hallyburton is a journalism major at the University of Guelph-Humber in Toronto, Canada and is an editing intern here at the greatest open-source sports webite on the Internet, Bleacher Report.

He is a passionate Toronto Maple Leaf, Toronto Raptor, San francisco 49er and Toronto Blue Jays fan. Thayne also loves watching lacrosse, motocross, snocross and NASCAR racing.

In his spare time he can be seen stock car racing at Barrie Speedway in the summer and in the winter he travels throughout Ontario, Quebec and the Northern states at snocross races.

Thayne's friends refer to him as the human sports encyclopedia because he keeps completely pointless stats in his head and makes sure everyone knows them. He can resite almost every 20 man roster in the National Hockey League and his all-round hockey knowledge is sickening.

    thanks for the feedback and the edit, I looked for an original source for the quotes, but none of the many sources that cited them cited an original.

    I remind you that you said they would choke in the FIRST round, and that's what the degbate was about. I have no argument with you about our choking in the second round, even though until this year we never did so in the first two games of the second round. Therefore, your score is disallowed, like Brett Hull's should have been, and Brenden Morrow's was but should not have been.

    It's on--I just egged you into dropping the gloves, fool! My grabbing a hold of your jersey is thus: I told you we choke in the second round, not the first you were talking about. Now my uppercut: look at their stats in that first round--Thornton had seven points in seven first round games and was +1; Marleau had six points but was even; Cheechoo had five points and was even...and, he's down! That's gotta hurt! And Kasprzak's Sharks' teammates are pounding their sticks on the boards!

    thanks for the edit. it came up as like 141 words changed for some reason even though i'd say 10 or 20 at most were changed. i don't get it.

    Hey man, thanks for the edit. How'd you insert that dash? I haven't figured out how to do it, and it's not like MS Word that just puts the dash in if you put two hyphens. Let me know man, and thanks again.

    Thanks for the edits and comments again. For some reason, it shows most of it being re-written (216 words!) even though it looks pretty much the same.

    I was trying to figure out when we had exchanged comments, 'cause I remember having used a play on words with your last name and the company profiting from people being killed in Iraq (you probably get that all the time), so this time I had to check it out:
    You were the one who said the Sharks would lose to the Flames because they're chokers (for future reference, we don't do that until the second round!) and showed me the comparison between Stevens and Phaneuf was more accurate than my Blake assertion!

    At some point, we gotta break the tie! (No, I'm not competitive at all!)

    Thanks for the edits--I especially liked your new ending "two rounds too early if you ask me"

    Thayne, thanks for taking the time to review and edit my article. I have reverted back to my previous version for now because the article was displaying without spaces between sentences in many places and I don't have time to go through the code right now to see what's up. Feel free to investigate if you like. Otherwise, I'm fine leaving it as is.

    Thanks for the edits, made the article sound a lot better. (I've never been a grammar pro.) Glad you liked it, take it easy.

    The season started in October....I have been watching stats since then for this. The playoffs can help a guy, but not hurt him.

    Thanks alot for all the help. Spread the word i need more consistent readers, comments, and some more fans if your interested. I also could use more people for sure to read my 2008 Armer Awards article, it will explain everything you need to know. Id love some player suggestions on it. Thanks.

    Hey Thayne thanks for the edit, i appreciate it but i have an issue that somehow popped up. I don't know if its from changing the article headline or what but somehow i have the same article up twice. I saw your an intern, can you speak to Bryan or Zander and get the one with less reads and has not been edited by you deleted? Otherwise ill speak to one of them tomorrow about it. Thanks.
