Classic Creatures: Part Three

Dave Metrick

Dave is perhaps our funniest writer to date. He burst onto the Bleacher Report scene with his infamous piece “Stadium Rename-ium,” where he laid some ground rules for corporations to follow when renaming professional sporting venues. It had all of us at the office cracking up for hours.

Since then, Dave has pursued an “open letter” series in which he addresses Red Sox Fans, Raider Nation, Ricky Williams and Joey Chestnut (just to name a few) and pokes fun at the ridiculousness of today’s sporting world.

Dave has managed to find the time to write 40 career Bleacher Report articles—despite working a full time job and raising a child. Now that’s commitment!

Richard Bowler

Richard Bowler is best known on Bleacher Report for his writing on the NFL. He regularly covers the Seattle Seahawks, his favorite team, providing members of the network with news, analysis, and unique insights into the Hawks’ every move.

Rich got particularly busy during the NFL draft, where he extended his coverage to the league at large—analyzing how each conference made out and their prospects for the upcoming season. A few days before the draft, Richard made Bleacher Report history—by publishing a Mock Draft piece that generated an at-the-time network record 15,771 hits.

Ron Johnson

Ron Johnson is all Bleacher all the time. Since signing up for the network just over a year ago, he has written on a wider variety of sports than any other member—from the NBA to college football to professional wrestling.

While his “Dem’ Apples” pieces are always good for a laugh, Ron saves his best work for his league wide previews. In these articles he shares the vast knowledge he has about his sports of choice (which as far as I can tell is pretty much anything other than hockey) in a way that is both insightful yet easily digestible for the average reader.

Ron isn’t known for being particularly active in the comment threads—and I’m guessing that’s because he is so busy writing. He currently holds the Bleacher Report record for most published articles, with 92 total submissions.
