Hey Eric,

In my latest article, I wrote about the Packers fans responses to Favre's signing in Minnesota. Give it a read some time.

Hey Eric!

Just wrote a preveiw on the Minnesota Golden Gophers Football Team. I'm hoping to be a featured columnist of them on B/R. If you could check it out and give me your two cents, it would be highly appreciated! Thanks!

Much has been written about the Steelers, the 1970s, and their use of steroids. The current public perception is the Steelers began and glamorized the use of roids in the 70s. Read my article to find out who one man, with 4 NFL teams, spread the use of steroids throughout the NFL, beginning in 1963, and see just how pervasive roid usage was by the time the Steelers began their decade of dominance.

Eric-

After a month away from Bleacher Report, I'm finally back. And my first article is, of course, about Brett Favre and the Vikings. I hope you have a chance to read it; and give me some feedback!

Oh yeah, I wrote about Favre. . .kinda.

But not in the boring "will he join Minnesota" kinda way.

In the "screw Favre" gimme someone else kinda way.
