Ron Johnson
Height: 6'1
Weight: 175
From: St. Louis, Missouri

If there was ever a man who lived to shake up the foundation on "perfection," it is the enigma known as Ron Johnson. For the past two years, Johnson has been rocking the nation with countless submissions that challenge not only the conscience, but also the sports mind. From his censor filled "My Two Cents" to his comical "Dem Apples," Johnson is living proof that no name wannabes can even have their name etched in history.

Hi my name is Yoosof. I'm 16 years old and I live in Gillingham in Kent (UK). I'm an avid sports fan, I play and watch a lot of sport - my favourite sports are football (soccer), cricket, tennis, golf and formula 1, although football is what I mainly write about. I'm writing on bleacher report because I want to get experience writing sport articles because I want to be a sports journalist in the future.

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 ...

I`m just bringing a Brazilian perspective to BR.

BR is the greatest because even though English isn`t my first language and my writing is horribly amateur, there are always very competent people around to edit my contributions and make them look like real articles.

I think it`s great that fans from all over the world can write what they think about sporting events, give opinions and share local knowledge.

Like I said in the beginning I am Brazilian so I guess it goes without saying that I worship football/soccer as do my 190 million countrymen. I`m into just about every league, tourney and brand in the world.

Jeff (formerly Dr. Poove') is a born and raised Clevelander, from THE 'Ville, who spent four years of college in Pittsburgh at THE Carnegie Mellon University from 1995-1999 where he couldn't even root for his beloved Browns. This has left him cursed to have a friend pool of half Browns fans and half Steelers fans.

He currently lives in exile in the Nation's Capital waiting for that fateful day when "You Know Who" dies and he can sneak up to Baltimore and tinkle on his grave. Why? Because "You Know Who" deserves it.

Jeff was born catholic but was taught to worship the Buckeyes on Saturday and the Browns on Sunday. He also lives and dies with the Indians and still follows the Cavs.

I'm a young college student living in metro-Atlanta. My day job currently is in retail but I long for a career in sports journalism. My favorite sport is baseball but I watch basketball and football as well. I collect baseball cards as a side hobby because of my passion for the game.

I live for sports, it is what gets me through the rough times as I'm sure it does for many others. I hope to become a premier writer sometime in the future as I've embarked on this journey in my college career.

My favorite sports team is the Cardinals ever since I saw the great home run chase of '98 with Sosa and Big Mac. I've been privy to highs and lows with my team including a World Series championship in '06, but I've been through the disastrous '04 World Series sweep. I bleed Cardinal red.

Hi folks,
I am Mary, proud Co-Community Leader of the Arsenal Community with Shyam.

Together I hope we can mimic our beloved team - be stylish and creative but hopefully more consistent that the Gunners.

There are many Arsenal series for all you Gooners to get involved in including: "Arsenal In..." where Gooners from all over the world tell us what Arsenal mean to their respective countries, "Arsenal: Where Are They Now?" where Shyam looks at where past Arsenal players are, "Arsenal Legends" with Joe Guarr and "Arsenal Ladies" where I keep everyone up to date with all the goings on with the Arsenal Ladies.

Any other suggestions and comments are greatly welcome.

As for me, it is so surprise that I am a proud Arsenal fan and have been f...

Writer bio

I love the Pittsburgh Penguins, nothing more needs to be said. I've been a die hard fan since I was old enough to understand sports in general. I went to my first game when I was 5 years old, and have been hooked ever since.

Like a typical Pittsburgh sports fan, I hate all things Philadelphia, most especially the Flyers. I'm usually not the typical run-of-the-mill writer when it comes to sports, so if I say something to offend you or your team, please don't take it personally. Unless of course that team is based out of Philadelphia, then by all means, do take it personally, because it is.

I used to watch football all day long, every Sunday, until about two or three years ago when it suddenly became just plain boring to me. I realized that the time I was spending watching players ...

I'm a 25-year-old New York Jets' fan living in Brooklyn, NY, but I have a general love for the entire NFL. I also support my New York Knicks blindly. I'm not a big fan of baseball, but I'll pay attention from time to time.

Your basic guy who loves college sports.

Did the faceless, corporate management thing for too long.

Business owner long enough to see good times and rough times.

Through it all college sports have and continue to be my passion. My days of being a Pac-10 fan actually date back to the Pac-8. Those were the days when Jim Plunkett was throwing bombs to Randy Vataha and Ahmad Rashad was a running back at Oregon by the name of Bobby Moore.

My favorite college game to take in? Either the one I have tickets to or just about any game on television.

I write because I can. That's not to say I'm any good, only that I CAN.

Writer bio

Born and raised in the Queen City of Charlotte, NC. I've grown up a huge sports fan and want to eventually become a sports writer. I've played soccer, basketball, baseball, football, and tennis. I was born a Tarheels fan and continue to bleed Carolina blue. Since the Panthers came to the NFL I've been a huge fan and follow them religiously as well. As far as baseball goes, I was raised an LA Dodgers fan by my dad and continue to cheer and follow them (even though I never get to see them play living on the East Coast). I joined this site to hopefully find a place to write about and discuss sports with people who have a similar interest level as I do.
I was named a co-community leader for the Carolina Panthers in November 08.

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.

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.

Alex is a recent history graduate, who has just started a postgraduate journalism course. When he isn't in lectures (sitting at the back, of course) he can often be found on B/R - in his role as Staff Editor of the World Football section.

With an unflinching belief that he is always right, a convenient disregard for facts that might not support his view and an ability to write thousands of words on the most trivial of stories, Alex naturally believes he has all the skills required to become a great journalist. With past experience including a blog that reached literally tens of people worldwide and an article his mum read, he also believes he has the popularity to succeed.

Alex knows a lot about sport - last year alone he predicted Tiger Woods would win a major, and an English tea...

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...

I am a Journalism Major at Hunter College in NYC. I have been published in a few college papers and have received awards from the New Jersey College Press. I also interned for Bleacher Report as an editor. I was born in Moscow, Russia and moved to New Jersey at the age of 6. At some point in high school I realized that I would never become a professional athlete and realized the only legal way to make money while involving sports was to become a journalist.

I am a fan of all four major US sports as well as soccer. I also have access to Jets season tickets courtesy of my lovely girlfriend which will be used to try the waters of beat writing. I recently became one of the community leaders for the New York Jets and will look to help build the page to it's highest potential.

New Jersey born and raised, and while I still follow some New York area teams, the Mets and Yankees are not among them. Been a Braves fan all my life, but adopted the Blue Jays as the 2nd favorite along the way. Jason Kidd made the Nets a team to watch again, and while there's a handful of teams I like in the NFL, there was something sweet about seeing Golden Boy Brady getting slammed to the turf by the Giants in Super Bowl XLII. I'll go to a Lobo basketball game or football game for an entertaining break from dissertation research, but as a graduate student, I can't say I care a whole lot about UNM.

I'm working on my PhD in Earth and Planetary Sciences doing climate modeling and remote sensing analysis. I got my BS in Physics at Rochester Institute of Technology where the only spor...
