About

I love the opportunities Bleacher Report brings me, and I love representing one of the greatest colleges in the United States of America even more. I have been a Jayhawk as long as I can remember and will always be a Jayhawk no matter what.

Pardon the cliche, but nothing would please me more than getting paid to watch sports. I would also like to be a missionary at some point, and maybe teach or coach a subject or sport at a grade-school level.

Outside of sports, I love my family, eating (chicken, pasta, and chocolate), God, cartoons, and a wonderful blond-haired nursing major by the name of Heather.

    Hey JD,

    As a Kansas fan, I thought you might find this Big 12-related article interesting even though the Jayhawks have already faced Baylor this season. If you get the chance to read it, please let me know what you think. Thanks.

    Hey JD,

    In honor of my record 100th article, I have put together a fictitious list of an All-AFC South, All-NFC North, and All-Female Celebrity Football Duel, along with an exclusive on my sportswriting dream that's now becoming a reality.

    Appreciate any feedback!

    Glad to see you still have the fightin' Mangino on your short list. He was a great coach and by most accounts had good intentions while there. Count me as #25
