Alex's Bio

I am one of the biggest sports fans in the world, you will understand what I believe by my knowledge and passion for any game. I hate bandwagon sports fans. If you're going to "hop on the bandwagon" for a team, you are not a sports fan in my mind. I love passionate fans who stick to their teams no matter what. Lions, Pirates, Thunder, Blues, NJIT fans, I respect you all more than you could understand. My loves are the Yankees, Hoosier (basketball), Buckeye (football), and the Vikings. I am not biased most of the time. I know a lot about sports and I want to share it on here and hopefully get others to hear what I am saying.

My final connections piece is out - I have solved two big questions within the world of wrestling through mathematics: Why landing in the middle of the ring is the safest place, and whether the draft has limitations.
I hope you will find time to read this, as this article is one I am really proud of…
