So another festive period is fast approaching, my second here on Bleacher Report. I'm looking forward to everyone's holiday offerings.

Football has always been a huge part of my life and writing here on Bleacher Report is a real pleasure. As the community leader of the World Football section for the last year or so, I've seen it grow from the English Premier League section into the global debate it is today.

I can't believe that my interest in Bleacher is as strong today as it was 16 months ago and I can't wait to make up for time lost at University.

In June, I returned to Scotland from South Africa after 10 years in the football mad country. I've been around professional football at many levels in South Africa (sadly some people's knee's are better suited to a prolonged career...

I am a 22 year old senior at the University of Dayton. After I was born in Connecticut, I moved to the Philadelphia area where I has developed a passion for all of the city's sports team. Do you have any idea how proud I am to say that the city's 25 year old curse is finally over and the Philadelphia Phillies are World Champions once again? Tears of joy came to my eyes when Brad Lidge threw that final strike in the bottom of the 9th in Game 5 and fell to his knees with his arms in the air....

I hate generalizations. They really annoy me.

I'm female. Not only am I female, but I'm from Birmingham, Alabama. And, on top of that, I'm 17. Yep. There's a whole bunch of thoughts going through your head right now and I can almost guarantee you they aren't true.

I'm female but I love sports. Alabama football to be exact. I spend 9 months out of the year looking forward to the three months I get the watch the Crimson Tide play football.

I'm from Birmingham, Alabama. However, contrary to popular belief, I do wear shoes and normal clothes. Or, as normal as a wardrobe full of crimson really is anyway. And, I am actually somewhat intelligient. Although, those of my friends that are Auburn fans disagree.

Last but not least, I am 17. I'm a high school junior at Shades Valley. ...

Israel's use of white phosphorus airburst shells over the densely populated Gaza Strip came under fresh criticism last night for endangering civilians.

The use of phosphorus shells as an airburst weapon "would increase the potential for civilian harm and create fires on houses and infrastructure", said Mark Garlasco, senior military analyst at the human rights group.

But Neil Gibson, technical adviser to Jane's Missiles and Rockets, described the likel...

Earlier this year, Kevin Paul signed a contract with FOXSports.com as a contributing writer.

In addition to Fox Sports, Kevin has also been published on numerous other sports websites, including CBS Sportsline and BCSFootball.org.

KP's Blog, running on the Fox Sports website since late 2005, has long been his outlet for sports chatter.

In his mind, nothing beats the Fall, not only for the changing colors and pleasant weather, but also for playoff baseball, a full Saturday of College Football, and a manic Sunday of the NFL.

Michael Whooley lives in the happiest place on Earth. No,not Disneyland; rather that beautiful city known as San Bruno in the wondrous state of California. A graduate of Providence College in Rhode Island, Michael has also done his time on the East Coast and has come to the conclusion that the West Coast truly is the Best Coast. Seriously, who needs snow? Michael emerged from his mother's womb decked in the red and gold of his beloved San Francisco 49ers. Growing up in the Bay Area in the late 80s and early 90s, Michael was spoiled and got to enjoy some of the best football any team has ever played (not just opinion, but a fact as solid as the fact that the male seahorse has the babies - look it up!) Trips to Candlestick Park to see the 49ers with his grandma were frequent occurrences. ...

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.

My halloween Tom Landry article got on MSN (AMAZING!!!!), and I can't get the picture of me in the costume on the site for some odd reason.

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.

I'm Henry, and I love football and baseball. Originally from Boston, I have spent time in both New York (which I think is the greatest city in the world) and Denver (which is a close second) and picked up my love of sports from these two cities. I love the Denver Broncos, and I love the New York Mets (even though they never cease to break my heart). I also love writing (english was always my best subject in school), and I found out about Bleacher Report from fellow Broncos writer Sayre Bedinger, and from their advertisement on Facebook, where I serve as an administrator to a Denver Broncos fan group consisting of over 12,000 members. I am no bandwagoner or fair-weather fan... you won't see me change my loyalties when times get tough...ever.

Born and raised on the mean streets of the suburbs of Cincinnati Ohio. Forever a Buckeyes, Reds and Bengals fan, but after living in Phoenix and Orange County California, I also follow the Suns, Angels and Ducks.

I graduated from Chapman University in Orange County in 2006 with a BA in English and emphasis in journalism. I toiled in the news, sports and opinions departments on the campus newspaper, "The Panther" for three years. I also freelanced for the Orange County Register's sports department, covering high school football games for three years.

After suffering through the Bengals of the 1990s (and today, with only a small hope of redemption in 2005), the Reds of the 2000s and Ohio State football during the Cooper years, I've developed a pessimistic attitude tow...

My dream job would be GM of the Seattle SuperSonics. Now my dream is dead. So I will have to get Mark Cuban money, buy a team ( I don't care who) and move them back. Then I could be the Jerry Jones of the NBA. If I can't be the Sonics GM, then how about the Seahawks GM? If you couldn't tell by now I'm a Seattle sports fan who is passionate about the NBA and NFL, and I enjoy NCAAFB then NCAABB. After that I would call myself a tennis fan, then maybe a tie between baseball and boxing. Along with Seattle Sports I like the Nebraska Cornhuskers. I would like to go to the NBA All-Star weekend and Wimbledon. I like HS sports too.
