I'm very simple: I love to write, and I love hockey more than anything in the world. My world and my life revolves around hockey. My work revolves around what time the game is on TV. Hockey is a priority. That's it. Hockey is a priority.
I am currently attending Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA. I will be majoring in psychology and minoring in business. This is to answer all questions about whether or not I want to go into journalism. No I don't, but my first year seminar was a journalism class, and I plan on taking other classes like this.
My dream is to go into hockey management, and one can easily see why through all of my hockey articles.
I like to think of myself as a hockey fan before a Flyers' fan. Yes, it would be my dream to see the Flyers' win the Stanley ...

Had written this on a long flight trip, the more I read ‘Audacity of Hope’, so many times he transcended boundaries between being a Democrat or Republican, so many times I found myself nodding in approval completely agreeing to his rationality and consummate pragmatism, so many times I was convinced and fulfilled that we had indeed made the correct decision.

Writer bio
Salaar Shamsi is a passionate sportswriter (who happens to be the World Football Community's Leader alongside Andrew McNair), while most of his contributions are aimed towards Football or Soccer, he often chooses to branch out with articles related to Cricket, Golf, Tennis and the NBA as well.
Salaar Shamsi was born in Pakistan but has traveled and lived in the United States, England, Singapore and Turkey.
Salaar traces memories of great clashes between Manchester United and Arsenal and often enjoys catching up with the best in the business.
Salaar has really enjoyed being a part of the B/R Team and has recently started recruiting new writers into the community, which he claims has been an enjoyable experience.
A reliable editor (or maybe not), Salaar Shamsi would like to pa...

Writer bio
Football has always been a huge part of my life and writing here on Bleacher Report is a huge pleasure. As the community leader of the World Football section for the last 10 months or so, I've seen it grow from the English Premier League section into the global debate it is today.
I'm proud of the role I played in that transition and will continue to support our good friend Salaar as he aims to take us further.
I've recently returned to Scotland from South Africa after 10 years in the football mad continent. I've been around professional football at many levels in South Africa but now persue a career writing about the beautiful game.
I also spent plenty of time at St Georges Park, Port Elizabeth working with some of the best cricketers in the world.
I'm presently continuing ...

Writer bio
I am a lifelong Chicagoan who loves sports, especially baseball, and especially the Cubs. I could die a happy man if the Cubs could just once win the damn World Series. But I refuse to die until they do, which ensures a long life I think.
I have a passion for writing, am opinionated, and I don't bathe frequently. I do try to be balanced and fair, but I look forward to your comments, I love feedback.
On a personal note, I have three kids, one of each. If you want to know more about me, first consult a therapist. But if you still insist, Sam Wenk was kind enough to do a brief profile on me for BR:

7 - Raider Card Addict
Writer bio
The result of an older brother following the Raiders and a Father who follows the Broncos, Joseph Budd was tuned to the Raiders at a young age, starting with Ken Stabler's game against the Vikings in the 1976 season. Going through school, he was the subject of ridicule and resentment, especially after cheering for the Raiders through two more Super Bowl wins, and watched in horror when Bo Jackson's career was derailed.
Never giving up on his team, Joe went on to college, and took his hobby into business, opening a card shop, trading, and doing business both before and after the internet took off, selling cards and collectables.
After discovering that there was no physical way to collect every single card when your name is not Donald Trump, Joe decided to pursue the Raider cards. A...

Hi. I'm Shyam and I'm the co-Community Leader of Bleacher Report's Arsenal Community, along with Mary.
It has been a wonderful experience writing here and meeting like-minded individuals who love football. Bleacher Report is a great forum to experience one's views and opinions on different events, and I have enjoyed being a part of a burgeoning community here.
There are some talented writers here, but more importantly, there are some excellent editors as well.
Keep up the good work guys! Let's hope we grow and prosper together at Bleacher Report!
P.S. If you have any concerns about, or ideas for improving the Arsenal Community, do drop in a note in my bulletin board.
A special thanks to Community Director, Zander Freund, for all his work directed towards improving B/R!

Hi everyone. I am the Community Leader for Florida Gators Football here on Bleacher Report.
I am a graduate of the University of Florida with both a BS and MS in Decision and Information Sciences. I lived my entire life in Florida up until January 2008 when I moved to Charlotte, NC for a job. I was born and raised a Gator, and still remain a devoted Gator to this day.
I run the blog year2.wordpress.com and have had opinion articles published in the Orlando Sentinel in the past. I also have had three Bleacher Report articles picked up by FoxSports.com, which is really cool.

I'm currently a Communications major at the University of Akron with aspirations of being a writer or broadcaster.
My favorite sports are football and baseball. I'm a die hard Indians fan, but as you can tell that's pretty much the only Ohio team I like, that doesn't really make me popular around my area. Not that I had a shot at that to begin with.
I run a complete blog that covers everything Cleveland Indians. Check out the my website link on the side if you hate me or like the Indians. I waste a lot of time updating useful roster pages and photoshoping Indians players onto heads of Super Mario characters.
I also host a radio show every Thursday at 6:30 PM ET for Pigskinheaven.com. Its not big time but hey, it pays the bills. No not really, I do it for free and take a lot of...

Where do I begin? I'm a seventeen year old die-hard fan of the New York Rangers and San Francisco Giants. I was born in Staten Island, New York before moving to New Jersey when I was five years old. I've been watching hockey for as long as I can remember and first remember understanding the sport and rooting for the Rangers when I was seven years old and Wayne Gretzky, my idol was playing at Madison Square Garden. I go to as many games as I can but wish I was a season ticket holder so I could see...

To the left is a picture of me near the top of Mt. Lemmon -- the only location of snow in Tucson, Arizona.
Currently in high school, I run cross-country and track (one-mile and two-mile). I have a deep love for all Minnesota sports, but I have a deeper love for my Creator, Jesus Christ. I believe that I am saved by grace, through faith in Christ alone. I hope to bring you entertaining and relevant articles while I rant on whichever Minnesota sport happens to be struggling.
I recently came closer to Mexico when I moved to Tucson, Arizona, but moved farther away from my Minnesota sports.
No, I don't limit my interests to Minnesota sports. I love all sports, but I tend to gravitate towards the NFL. I will try to find peace with Arizona fans and maybe pick up a team or three.

He only writes about Formula One, and he hopes to have some type of job presenting or writing about Formula One. BBC Radio Five Live would be brilliant, although he wouldn't mind working for The Times. Perhaps he might be able to mention someone other than Lewis Hamilton, we should be so lucky...

Joe is currently a student at THE Michigan State University and has developed an unhealthy obsession with soccer over the years.
As one of the MLS community leaders along with Thomas Leemon, he hopes to give the league a wider exposure through his writing. He is also always looking for new MLS writers to help the community grow.
His sporting interests encompass more than just the Beautiful Game though. At any given time you can find him watching baseball, basketball, American football and hockey, or trying to understand cricket.
When not writing, he finds time to cheer for Arsenal, Shrewsbury Town, Fulham, Glasgow Rangers, the Chicago Fire, the US National Team, the Cincinnati Bengals, the Detroit Tigers and of course his beloved Michigan State Spartans.

Born in the pristine southern city of Savannah, Georgia, I lived a Huck Finn childhood of fishing, shrimping, crabbing,and swimming in the intercoastal waterways of coastal Georgia. I grew up playing football, baseball, basketball, and boxing. I now live in the beautiful state of Idaho, and enjoy the drop-dead gorgeous outdoors here in the Gem State. What a place to live!!
Though I now live in Idaho, I remain loyal to the Georgia Bulldogs. I bleed Bulldog red and black! How 'bout them DAWGS!
I have written weekly articles for several newspapers over the past 15 years.
While I enjoy almost all sports - I LOVE College Football!!!
I normally leave the game day analysis to others here on B/R, as there are so many that are so good at that. I greatly enjoy reading their article...

Born and raised in Oakland. I am a self-proclaimed baseball purist. I am a die-hard San Francisco Giants fan and basically half my wardrobe is orange and black. I listen to Giants games on the radio because that's how my dad taught me to do things and listening to Jon Miller and David B. Flemming talk about Shakespeare during any point of a game is priceless. I am a baseball prospect junkie and that means I read Baseball America usually more than I read my own textbooks.
I'm not your normal sports fan. I don't panic after every game. I don't use "we" when speaking of a team I root for. I'm not a homer. If the team isn't good, I'm not afraid to say it.

Sean Crowe got his start writing for the now defunct dailysportsreport.com (although we’ve recently been informed that DSR is back…but we assure you, Crowe has absolutely nothing to do with the new site).
His influences include ESPN's Bill Simmons (from his Digital City Boston days) and the Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy before he went catatonic and was replaced by a random negative article regurgitating robot. He hates everyone who writes for the Boston Herald except for Steve Bulpett & Rob Bradford. Mike Reiss is his favorite sports writer at the moment, but he’s looking into becoming the president of the Amalie Benjamin fan club—for whatever that’s worth.

I write because I can. That's not to say I'm any good, only that I CAN.
If someone enjoys what I write, that's great, if not, don't read it. But one way or the other, I'd like to know about it, so post your thoughts, good or bad.
I was quoted in the Nov 6th edition of Street and Smith's Sports Business daily and it really surprised me, how cool is that?! It wasn't much, but it was cool anyway, http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=sbd.main&ArticleID=125320 <i>This is a subscription website</i>
I have been selected as a Community Leader of the Washington Redskins community, if you have any questions, post 'em to my board and I'll do my best to find an answer for you. Enjoy B/R!

Writer bio
For starters, I'm Peter. I know you already knew that, but I figure an introduction is still appropriate. I was born and raised in St. Louis, and I go to school at the best journalism school in the country, Missouri.
I'm a huge sports fan. I always have been. I've read the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sports section every day since I was seven years old, and respect (almost) everybody in the sports industry, from athletes to writers to management. If I could make my living in the industry, that would be a dream come true for me.
I love the Cardinals, Rams, and obviously all Mizzou sports. I follow the Blues, but not passionately, and root for the Celtics and Grizzlies in the NBA. My passion for my teams will surely bleed into my writing. I'll do my best to cover a wide-variety of spo...

I am a sophomore at John F. Kennedy High School. I have played 3 sports in organized leagues. I played JV Football last season, I'm a quarterback. I played baseball in BCC from about age 10-13. I played basketball in the YES League in 2007. I enjoy watching sports, playing sports, writing about sports. My favorite team is the Baltimore Ravens. I also like the Orioles. I despise the New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals. Even though I hate the Yankees to death, I have some Yankee fan friends. I'm 15 years old, probably the only one here at that age. I have been a sports guy since 1998, when I was 5! Then, I liked the Cowboys. I started liking my current favorite team, the Ravens. I mostly write about baseball, but I know a lot about each sport.

I'm a guy who got in football too late to play it in high school or college. But I love it too much to give up, so I intend to follow my dreams and do what the inspirational movies tell you to do. I want to be a great sportswriter on NFL and maybe be on the Hall of Fame Committee and an analyst for ESPN or NFL, I will not give it up no matter what.
I've recently been named a Community Leader for the Dallas Cowboys. I intend to keep that position for quite some time. But, I am not solely a Cowboy writer. I write on multiple subjects, and do a Cowboy piece every few articles.
