About John »

I am a 31-year-old sports fan from central PA. Have been involved with newspaper sports coverage -- from sports writer to sports editor to sports page designer -- for 12 years. A good friend and I started our own fantasy sports site at www.chinstrapninjas.com and have been working on developing the site as a rite of passion for what we enjoy most: writing about the sports we love.
