Nino's Bio

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'm a community leader here at Bleacher Report for the MLB and Cleveland Indians sections. If you ever have any questions, please leave a note on my board because I already get enough e-mails.

Things you should know about me: I scream at the television while watching the Indians, I watch way too much television as well and have too many favorite TV shows, I love the e-trade baby commercial and hate the 3 year old Cuba Gooding Jr one with Michael Jordan. I have a weird obsession with mediocre like baseball players such as Jody Gerut and I tend to make them out to be god-like players. I also have an extreme dislike for Jack Cust. I believe I know everything there is to know about everything, I have an extremely rare sense of humor that almost no one understands, but I'm sure the fact that I think the e-trade baby commercial is funny clued you into that. I also used the word extreme a lot there.

I tend to ramble a lot, sometimes incoherently, which is probably what I'm doing now. Yes, I love to ramble. I also like to tell you how awesome I am. But realize this. I'm not. I actually think I've spent way too much time and carried out this profile thing a little too long. Let me also add, we type these out, so if you see someone typing in third person, they are full of themselves.

No not really, that's just.. Oh forget it.

    Hey,

    I was wondering if you would check out my latest article. I hate to solicit you, but I think it deserves more attention than it will probably receive as it is tagged "stats." I would love to hear your opinions on this debatable topic!

    Thanks!
