will's Bio

Will makes no secret about it-he seeks a career in sports-one way or the other. Whether it's as a writer, office exec, or scout-Will knows the traditional "9-5" lifestyle isn't for him. While he's a baseball fan and college basketball fan, he's a football fanatic. During the 5 glorious months of the season you'll find him trolling YouTube for videos of draft-eligible prospects, or watching two or three games at once-among many other things. His writing is hard hitting, honest, analytical, and occasionally tinged with shades of sarcasm and dry humor.
Will attends Dartmouth college in Hanover, NH, where there is basically not a thing to do outside of relaxing with friends and sharing the college experience. He has to warn anyone who comes to his neck of the woods: the winters absolutely suck. Stay away if you can.

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

I've been spending time on our College Football 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

Hey Will,

I honestly can't keep up with this spam-bot—he's leaving more and more crap on your article every day...

I've talked to development and they say the problem will be fixed by next week. In the meantime: you may want to try reposting if you're worried about having the inappropriate comments on there. I know that will delete the other comments but at this point it's the only option for this particular article.

My apologies for the inconvenience. Thanks as always Will.

Wadup Will,

Looks like a spam bot took a giant crap all over your article. I've deleted all the comments...let me know if more crop up.

My apologies—nice work on the piece btw.

Hey will,

I hope you've been enjoying the new and improved Bleacher Report—we're really happy with the feedback we've received so far.

Just thought I'd let you know that next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements, and thus it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend will!

Glad everything checks out, Will. Thanks for calling me "spot-on" instead of "anal"--it's a nice change. Keep the good stuff coming...
