About Us

You know those annoying assholes who always sit behind you in the cheap seats at sporting events? The obnoxious ones who make you wish you never brought your kids to the game? Yeah...hi, that's us. We may be vulgar, misinformed, politically incorrect and often shirtless, but we're sure as hell passionate. And usually shitfaced.

We're an independent sports & humor blog based in the Boston area that was formed in June of 2010. The site joined Fox Sports' "Yardbarker" network in early 2011 but continues to be independently owned and operated by local area college students.

We aim to provide you with a raw take on sports from the humorous point of view of common fans in the cheap seats. We'll give you with some of sport's top viral videos on the web along with news, analysis, breakdowns, and other things that will tickle your fancy. And we'll do it all with the Boston bias that you either love or love to hate.

We've been linked on popular websites such as ESPN.com, Deadspin, Big Lead Sports, SportsIllustrated.com's "Hot Clicks," MSN.com, FoxSports.com, SportsGrid, Yahoo! Sports' PuckDaddy, Larry Brown Sports, With Leather, and others.

We also finished in the Top 10 of BallHyped's 2011 Sports Blog of the Year voting in our first appearance in the contest.

We appreciate any and all feedback that you give us. Let us know what you think by sending an e-mail to thenosebleeders@gmail.com. You don't have to dress it up or be all formal, we're college kids...we get that you might not have the time to give us a 12-page scholastic thesis about why we suck or kick ass. A simple "you guys suck" or "you guys are the knees" would suffice. And we'll do our best to get back to you.

We're currently looking to expand and add writers and media content creators. If you're interested in joining the team, send us an e-mail with links to some of your work and we'll get back to you.
