Zack's Bio

Hey I'm Zack. I'm currently a junior in college at Rock Valley College in Rockford IL. I plan on transferring to Wisconsin-Whitewater in the spring. (Yes, I know its packer territory).

I'm a featured writer for chicitysports.com.

I enjoy sports and would be bored without them. I also love to write about sports and about my favorite teams.

My favorite teams are: The Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls, Florida Gator Football, and North Carolina Tar Heel Basketball (CHAMPS!!!!).

I've met tons of athletes in my life so far, and I plan on meeting more. I have met Devin Hester, Richard Dent, Mike Singletary, Ron Santo, Johnny Red Kerr (RIP), Tommie Harris just to name a few.

Is Ben Roethlisberger more clutch than Tom Brady and the rest of the league? I've created a new measure to test quarterback "clutchness". FInd out how Jay Cutler faired.

A belated welcome to B/R. Zack. I am the Cubs Community leader, so if I can help you in any way, let me know. I look forward to seeing soem Cubbie content from you my friend. I've enjoyed your Bears articles.

Meanwhile, you can also help the community by reading other Cubs articles and commenting as much as possible.

Thanks, Bob

Hey Zack,

Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.

Thanks in advance!
