One day, I intend to either be in a front office making personnel decisions, or be part of the media analyzing said decisions.

Currently, I am attending Middle Tennessee State University. Despite that, I grew up in the shadow of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, and still consider myself a Boilermaker at heart. It's for that reason that I'm now a B/R Featured Columnist for Purdue basketball.

I also maintain a blog at http://starr-rated.blogspot.com/. Check there for the occasional Starr* Rated exclusive that does not get posted here on B/R...like the Current Exclusive "UGH-A: A Robot Mascot? WTF?" There, you can also read much of what I post here on B/R, as I intended it, before editors start hacking it up. :-P Kidding, guys, I appreciate the occasional polish.

You'll find me anywhere and everywhere on B/R, trying to balance out all the idiot fanboys who can see no flaws with any of their favorite teams. I know Peyton bottles it in the playoffs. I know the Bears haven't had a decent quarterback since my parents were in grammar school. I can call a spade a spade and be honest about my teams, which might just make me too evolved for the Internet...but I do see signs of intelligent life here, so we'll give this thing a try.

And if you can't argue for your teams without using the words "we," "us," and "our," it kind of torpedoes your objectivity, and therefore your credibility. See http://bleacherreport.com/articles/193717-when-do-you-go-we Don't make it personal.
