Hi, I'm Blake

[TheWrestler]

So I'm Blake, I went to High School (and graduated) with University of Florida players; Ahmad Black, Chris Rainey, Pouncey Twins, John Brown, and Jamar Taylor (USF/Bama).

I played football for two years, but quit to wrestle year long.

I work for a newspaper in Tampa, as a prep sports writer/copy editor.

Ummm, I went to school to be a firefighter, but gave that up to become a sports writer. I'm 20 years old, and I love Madden (360 (09), or PC (08))

Welcome to SI! I hope you will decide to stick around here. If you are interested in GFX or would like to learn, we have a GFX team that is willing to help you. If you want a sim league team to have a little fun, you will probably have to prove your activity before you join but they are really fun! If your just here to talk sports, have fun and I hope you will like it here.

welcome to the site man. Since you work for a newspaper, do you have a password for getty images?

 

[TheWrestler]

My buddy had one actually, I'll see if I can get it from him.

And thanks guys, I was pretty big into making sports GFX for a while, and was gonna get back into it. I'm more than likely gonna stick to discussion for now, although I re-installed PS today.

sorry forgot the norm for sports;

NFL - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
MLB - Atlanta Braves (Rays' are okay, but I grew up with the Braves, so I'm not jumping ship)
NHL - Tampa Bay Lightning
NBA - Orlando Magic (Also a big Spurs' fan, love a team that play's "D")
NCAA - Florida Gators (loved these guys since I was born, Danny W >>> Tim Tebow)

Good to have a Sports Writer around. You can be of high value to SI.

Welcome aboard.

 

[TheWrestler]

Thank you. Looking forward to contibuting all that I can to the site.

one last;

High School sports;
Football - DE/DT - one time state champion
Wrestling - 171/189/215 pounds two time district champion, three time state qualifier
Baseball - MRP - played one year, hated coach

 

[RipCity32]

Damn, your an animal lol.

 

[TheWrestler]

haha naw. I didn't start in football; and I'll admit I had a pretty easy road as far as wrestling is concerned. We were in class 3A, which is the highest in wrestling, but to be honest our district was pretty weak, 2A is where it's at in Central FL.

Thats a pretty impressive High School athletic resume'.

I was a 3-sport guy in HS. Baseball, Football, and indoor track. Never lost a single football game in HS, from Modified in 8th grade to my senior year of Varsity.

Welcome to Sportz Insomnia Blake, nice to see a writer here.
If you could get a password to Getty Images, you'd be loved by the GFX Crew.
Welcome again, and hope you stay active.

glad to have you around.

we're actually strongly considering bringing back our Article Team/section back to SI and could use some "professional" help with that.

hope you enjoy our family atmosphere, as we have a wide range of members by age, ethnicity, and countries!!

Welcome to SI!

 

[TheWrestler]

Sounds awesome man, I'm actually really excited, and King, we won the national championship twice, state three times, and our ninth grade JV team was undefeated.

That's pretty awesome, how you never lost a varsity game though.

 

[jarrod2323]

glad to have you aboard.. lived in Miramar when I was a wee lad... LOL

not quite the resume of scholastic sports as you, but I did fare well as All-District team in Soccer my senior year, and made 2nd round of cuts for the pro indoor team - the Houston Hotshots... way too political, as the team was already picked despite open tryouts.

oh well.
