About Andrew »

I'm an Assistant Dean of Admissions in my mid-20s at a top liberal arts institution in upstate New York by day, and an avid sports junkie by night.

Growing up with a passion for all things Boston, Syracuse, and anything having to do with soccer, I have developed quite the unhealthy obsession with sports near and far.

I have benefitted from being immersed in some of the greatest sports rivalries from a young age(Celtics-Lakers, Red Sox-Yankees, Orange-Hoyas, to name a few). Although -admittedly- completely biased towards my teams, I have gained a great respect for such rivalries and the importance of their existence in all sports. It is through this understanding that I've gained a passion to share my experiences and views with all of you.

Whether you agree or disagree, I hope you enjoy my personal views on the issues and sporting events that I highlight.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to add your two cents!

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

I've been spending time on our Celtics 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

how would you consider an article comparing cp3 and deron williams a "played out" topic? just wondering if you had any advice that i could take for the future and perhaps avoid "played out" topics.

thanks in advance

Thanks for the pick, man. I like how you called the Celtics firstround matchup a bye. I predict 4 easy W's by 20 points a game.

I will definitely check it out Andy, or Drew or whichever it is today :-) I told Kate I am still deciding on the whole blog issue. It was fun hanging out with you at SB. We will all have to get together again someday. Maybe for the Celtics upcoming big win!

I'll be sure to check it out bro, as far as our teams go they will be fine, Baltimore usually starts out like this and then starts to suck once May comes around

That China Olypics article was great. It's always interesting when sports draw in other aspects of our lives and make us reconsider why we value sports so much in the first place.
As for Celtics articles, I would love to collaborate. I've had a few ideas brewing about a piece on the Celtics playoffs prospects to talk about how they will fare, especially as they go deeper and deeper (hopefully). In the meantime before the playoffs, did you have any good ideas for a collaboration piece?
