Sup Everybody, I am the top ranked wrestling writer currently for B/R. I have always been a wrestling fan, but also I am a big just sports fan. I live in a place where college football is the sport. So it is one thing I am into.

I am currently in college taking TV Broadcasting, yet I want to get into both Radio and TV in my career. Writing is something I love to do, because I can share my opinion. That is why B/R is so great for me.

Wrestling is a big passion for me, I have written for websites a lot on news and what not. But I could only do news and not share my opinion. And I am very opinionated, trust me. I will...

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.

I am first a hockey fan, THEN a Flyers' fan.

My dream is to go into hockey management, and one can easily see why through all of my hockey articles.

I currently co-host a weekly radio show called NHL 2Day along with Ken Armer, ...

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.

Born and raised in Oakland, Danny is a former member of the Humboldt State University men's soccer team. Despite playing college soccer, he is a self-proclaimed baseball purist. He is a die-hard San Francisco Giants fan and basically half of his wardrobe is orange and black. Being a baseball nerd means he reads Baseball America usually more than his read my own textbooks.

Penza is not your normal sports fan. He doesn't panic after every game and the use of "we" when speaking of a team he roots for is strictly prohibited. He prefers to listen to Giants games on the radio because that's how his dad taught him how to do things and listening to Jon Miller and David B. Flemming talk about Shakespeare during any point of a game is priceless.

However his knowledge is not just ...

My name is Rafal Ladysz and I'm a journalism student at St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario. I've always liked writing about sports of any sort and this will serve me good for the future. Hockey, soccer and tennis are what I enjoy writing about most.

I'm a huge Buffalo Sabres fan, and the amount of heartbreaks this city has experienced is just unreal. Ilya Kovalchuk and Marian Gaborik are my two favourite players. I've had a few NHL articles published on CBS Sports and I'm really proud of that.

I'm Polish, and our soccer squad has been through quite a few disappointments of their own. In the end, I hope to become a sportswriter but it will be challenging.

I'm Alex, I'm from London, and I have a job as a journalist. About insurance. If there's anything that can drive the person truly mad, it's years of writing about insurance. Trust me. I know.
But my biggest love is sports. In the UK I love my soccer teams, but I have my big American passions: baseball and football. Sure, I can deal with the odd NBA game and March Madness, as well as a bit of the NFL, but give me Ken Griffey's swing and a Penn State White Out any day of the week.
So here I am. I have a blog - http://viewfromnorthamerica.blogspot.com that I hope you'll look at at some point. And I love writing.

First and foremost: I like cars. I like racing them, I like watching them race and I like the intricacies of them. Ever since I was a child, I loved watching cars race regardless of what series they were. In the end though, Formula 1 became my forte! When it comes to this series, I don't have any favourite team in particular. My favourite driver, on the other hand, is Kimi Raikkonen and I was really glad to see him take the WDC for 2007.

As well, I follow the Le Mans and the American Le Mans Series. It's very different from Formula One in that you have to think more towards the future rather than the present in order to win a race. At least that's how I see it.

Overall, when it comes to motorsport, I turn on my inner child and go nuts!

I also follow the Red Bull Air Race, a new...
