Ernest's Bio

I'm a Chicago native, FSU alum, and a brand new ATL-ien.

Sports & Comedy are very important to me, so I've decided they should stop living in sin and get married here at The Bleacher Report.

I'll be writing about my fave teams, as well as the big topics of the day. I hope you enjoy the articles, and if you get a chuckle out of something I write here, then I'm doing my job well.

Contact me if you have any likes/dislikes, and comment if something I say makes you smile/bothers you. Especially the latter.

Ernest.

Hey Ernest,

I wrote a piece in May highlighting the position players that I thought should make the all star team. I started a 2-part follow up piece today focusing on starting pitchers. I started with AL. If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it. Thanks

My final connections piece is out - I have solved two big questions within the world of wrestling through mathematics: Why landing in the middle of the ring is the safest place, and whether the draft has limitations.
I hope you will find time to read this, as this article is one I am really proud of…

Hey Ernest, seeing as how you like humor, I thought you might like this:

Decided to have some fun with this. It's a humor piece about Survivor for athletes. I had a blast writing it, and I hope you get a good laugh out of it :)

If you get the time, I'd love to hear what you think. If not, no worries.
