Hey all,

First, I want to respond to a few of the comments I’ve received from some of our sports communities not equally represented here.

We are constantly working on ways to incorporate more and more of the quality content coming from all of our communities, and over the coming weeks and months, we will break through not only with Foxsports.com and CBSSports.com, but many more outstanding sporting sites found all over the Internet.

In the meanwhile, sit tight and whenever I see an opportunity to incorporate more of our content, I will do my best to continue this wave of momentum.

There you have it. My advice to all of you Bleacher Creatures hoping to follow in these footsteps is to continue working hard in developing your craft, and these types of opportunities may come your way.

Hey all,

I just wanted to encourage all Major League Baseball fans to check out an exciting series Bleacher Report has running on Foxsports.com.

Keep up with the Angels (Scott Fowler), Brewers (Peter Bukowski), Cubs (Bob Warja), Dodgers (J.C. Ayvazi), Phillies (Claire Reclosado), Rays (Ben Weixlmann), Red Sox (Michael Lemaire) and White Sox (J.J. Stankevitz) throughout the playoffs with daily reactions and analysis.

Show some love for the tremendous efforts this group will make during the triumphs and pitfalls that is baseball in October.

Best,

Aron

Hey everyone,

So Bleacher Report’s founding team was recently named as one of 25 finalists in BusinessWeek’s America’s Best Young Entrepreneurs for 2008.

Our loyal Creatures have done so much for us that it seems absurd to ask for yet another favor, but we’re hoping that you guys might be able to put aside your B/R addictions for two minutes and vote for us.

Winning this thing would be a huge victory for Bleacher Report, and help to further solidify its rightful place in the world of mainstream sports media.  This is definitely not the way we prefer to attract attention—but if it helps the sports media establishment notice our talented writers and thoughtful fan-analysts, we’ll take it.

Some thanks are clearly in order here, given that the feature only mentions four people and that none of this would be possible without the help of many, many more.

Major props to Ryan Alberti, for establishing Bleacher Report’s high quality standards for content early on in the game and overseeing the site’s editorial process as we’ve grown into an article publishing powerhouse the likes of which the world has never seen.

Many thanks as well to our genius web engineers—Axel, Tung, Tyler, and William—for enabling us to turn an idealistic vision into a live website read by millions of people every day.

Shout outs to Trey Bradley and Mike Eagan for helping to develop the Bleacher Report concept in its early stages, and to Aron Glatzer, Jay Middleton, Gracie Leavitt, Emily Fowler, Quinn Slack, Shaun Andrews, and the rest of the hands we’ve brought along since to take us to the top.

To all the Moms and Dads, your support and advice was invaluable.  And thanks for letting us live at home while we bootstrapped this thing.

And of course…a very special thanks to all of you, our dedicated Community.  It’s been a pleasure serving you and we are thrilled to continue working together at making Bleacher Report a household name and revolutionizing the nature of online sports media.

Lastly, I’d like to thank God…and this Bud Light I’m sipping on right now.

Alright, alright, enough—we haven’t even won yet!  Go vote guys!

Emerging Bleacher Creature Babytate hit a gold mine this week when he published his rankings of the Top 10 Most Disliked College Football Programs of the past 25 years.

Since it went live, the piece has generated over 38,000 reads and 136 comments. Perhaps more impressive is the fact that NBC found the story provocative enough to publish it on their Columbus, Ohio website.

My favorite part about this article is that it provides both insult and compliment alike to the schools chosen. In the world of sports, the most successful teams are also often the most hated (see the New York Yankees for a prime example). So while Canes fans are surely angry they ended up receiving the honor of most hated College Football program of the last 25 years, they can at the same time relish in their success during the 80’s that earned them this designation.

Hats off to Babytate for such a gutsy effort!

Longtime MMA contributor Dorothy Willis has had her poem about Georges St. Pierre nominated for a contest on poetry.com.

Yes, you read that right. In case you weren’t aware, we have a resident poet on Bleacher Report—and she’s a freak for fighting.

Whether you’re familiar with Yeates, Dickinson, and Frost or think poetry’s for the birds, please show your support for Dorothy by visiting her page on poetry.com. You can vote for her poem by clicking the green “Poets Choice: Rate This Poem” button below her entry.

Congrats Dorothy on your success thus far-—may you dominate this contest like Rush dominated Matt Hughes for the Welterweight title!
