About

I'm from Chicago but I was raised a New York Jets and Yankees fan by my dad who is from Staten Island, New York. I am currently a sophomore journalism major at Marquette University I played football and baseball up until high school. Having played for 8 years, football is in my blood, and I try to use my experience and what I learned as a player into what I write.

Although I am a New York sports fan, I am always exposed to the Chicago sports teams and I hope to be able to mix up my coverage at times. I am learning something new about sports writing everyday, and will do my best to provide interesting and knowledgable articles. Most of all, I am a fan, and I will try to relate to what the fans are thinking. My articles will be passionate and will reflect all different aspects of the ultimate reality TV show.

    Wow Start Kyle Rudolph are you serious? Do you lke giving terrible advice? Let's visit your theory . Because he had a bad week last week, he's going to have a good game this week? no. no no. His quarterback is terrible. His team only runs the ball. peterson had a monster game last week. they're going right bakc to AP this week. Plus he's put up donuts 2 out of the last 4 games all of which have been terrible games. you make me cry for the readers who actually listen to you.

    Demaryius Thomas. The man the dynamo. He's a monster. and you're telling people to bench him against Carolina?? He's MATCHUP PROOF. He's got manning throwing the rock to him. He had over 130 yards and a td 2 games ago!! he had 180 yards in a game a few before that. He is ridiculous and obviously the superior player to Decker, The great Equalizer being Decker's redzone usage.

    Please quit. please stop writing, get a healthy hobby like joining the gym. you're advice scares me.
