About John »

John R. Phythyon, Jr. is a displaced Ohioan. He was born in Columbus but grew up in Green Bay WI, where his father, a native of Dayton, taught him the proper love of Southern Ohio sports teams and The Ohio State University. By day, he's a sales and marketing director for his local theatre, while at night he moonlights as a freelance writer. He dreams of getting his big break as a feature columnist. In the meantime, he lives in Lawrence KS, where folks are amused by his Bengals passion.

    I think he will get about 5-6 carries on Sunday. Can't wait to see him play his old team next month
