About

Jonathan Cyprowski is a professional journalist that has been published in numerous publications worldwide. Growing up in the city of Pittsburgh he learned to appreciate the old school traditions in sports, but from a new school perspective. Whether it’s doing an interview with a world class athlete or breaking the latest news, Jonathan brings a fresh look at the world of sports.

When he stopped watching cartoons and started tuning into SportsCenter in the 3rd grade it became clear that sports would be a passion for Jonathan. Playing every sport he could including a brief stint in collegiate football gave Jonathan a great foundation and understanding of a number of sports. After having kidney failure on the practice field Jonathan turned his attention to becoming one of the next great sports journalist. With a Master’s Degree in Journalism, and a B.A. in communications his education matches his unbridled enthusiasm for real, intriguing sports journalism.

His experience with kidney failure altered his approach to sports only from a physical standpoint. Instead of playing them he covers them, and in doing so he brings an athlete’s perspective to his writing. Sometimes opinionated but always-fair Jonathan’s use of whit, irony and a flair for the dramatic make his writing a must read for sports fans everywhere.

    Hey Jonathan. It's been a while. I've recently written a new article you may be interested in reading:

    "The Miami Dolphin Crime Family: Tony and the Sparanos"

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/398543-tony-and-the-sparanos-the-miami-dolphin-crime-family

    Come read about how the Miami Dolphins have become the franchise with the most arrests in the NFL, a story no one else in the media seems to be following, and a problem that the Dolphins don't seem interested in correcting.
