About David »

2006 NBA Finals and 2003 World Series. I WAS THERE!!

I just wrote an article that addresses the Bleacher Report Writer Ranking System, which has been a sore spot to some and an area of controversy to many of you on this site.

I think that it's an important issue that needs to be addressed within this community. Please give the article a read when you have the chance. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Hey David,

Whats up man. Hey, I really appreciate you getting back to me a while ago about the radio question I asked you about before. I was wondering though, how did you get a job at a sports radio station? Actually, my real question is what advice would you give me on how to get into that business?
Take care.
David -I don't think Miami is winning the Hawks series btw. I think Wade is too injured and needs more than 1 days rest.

Yeah, the Marlins are in first place right now. But are they a contender or a pretender? Check out my Division Leader Contenders/Pretenders piece and see what you think.

Hey David,

With Selection Sunday 2 days away, I decided to write a preview of the tourney. Who will get the number one seeds? What bubble teams will get a spot in the tourney? Whos hearts will be broken?
