About Jonathan »

Name: Jonathan Mathis
DOB: 09-06-85
Hometown: Cerritos, California

We all have starting points in our lives. Mine, started at Cypress College, where I became a baseball beat writer for the campus newspaper and website, CyChron. Months later, I established a blog site called Sportsnation, invented for the hottest topics in sports. But I now have finally advanced to new heights by joining B/R, and have been given the privilege to share commentary and my perference on sports with all the talented writers here. I want to say to the other writers here at B/R that your unique style makes sports writing fun and interesting, and I couldn't be more elated to be apart of such a brand of talented writers. I'm here to write on anything sports, building upon a future to pursue a career as a national sports columnist.

Currently, I'm attending Cypress Community College, and only if I could somehow pass the damn math classes, I'll be well on my way to Cal State Fullerton to work on a bachelor degree in journalism.

But here at B/R, I'm seeking to write articles and interest fans who admires sports. Although I'm fair to all sports teams, and write just about all sports, I still have my favorite sports teams. The Lakers and Angels are my favorites, but I show my California love by rooting for the Dodgers. I perfer the Angels, since I just live 20 minutes away from Angel Stadium, well, to some extent.

Still, in my point of view, sports is sports my fellow fans and writers.

So let's all do what we do best, write on a major sporting event or a major sporting topic.

    The Patriots season has very much been a tale of two teams. Join the discussion as I talk about the good Patriots and the dominant Patriots.
