We here at BSB are incredibly excited to announce that we have brought on a new contributor. You may know him from his guest posts under “Stri Smarts,” but we are happy to welcome Chris Strianese to the BSB family. Stri expands our East Coast fandom, having grown up in New York as a die-hard Mets/Giants/Knicks lover and almost as die-hard a Yankees/Jets hater. And, now living in Charlotte, he can fill the North Carolina void that was created when Doogan moved back to PA from the Deep South.
As an analyst, Stri also brings a unique perspective to the site, as he tends to watch and follow sports from a real executive-level perspective, examining the real issues of a coach or GM or even an owner – most of the time with a rather critical – almost cynical – eye. Among many strengths, Stri is a very close follower of NFL personnel moves and transactions and should be providing some great content on the NFL offseason, particularly the draft. And, fittingly, if he is going to play the role, his first “pledge activity” will be to grow a Mel Kiper ‘do.
