Peter 's Bio

For starters, I'm Peter. I know you already knew that, but I figure an introduction is still appropriate. I was born and raised in St. Louis, and I go to school at the best journalism school in the country, Missouri.

At Mizzou I work for the student television station, MUTV, and also write for the newspaper, The Maneater. Check out my other blog at carteblanchemag.com.

I'm a huge sports fan. I always have been. I've read the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sports section every day since I was 7 years old, and respect (almost) everybody in the sports industry, from athletes to writers to management. If I could make my living in the industry, that would be a dream come true for me.

I love the Cardinals, Rams, and obviously all Mizzou sports. I follow the Blues, but not passionately, and root for the Celtics and Grizzlies in the NBA. No, I am not a bandwagon Celtics fan. I liked them through the Antoine Walker days, and yes, two years ago my favorite two teams had the worst record in the NBA.

My passion for my teams will surely bleed into my writing. I'll do my best to cover a wide-variety of sports and teams, but sometimes you gotta give your teams that hometown love. Let the fun begin.

    Peter-

    I recently wrote an article on the Cardinals top prospects and some primed break out prospects. Being a Cardinal fan, I think you may enjoy it. Hope to hear from you!

    Thanks for the POD. I'm giddy as a school-girl over here. It took me 5 days just to come up with a decent arguement. I think I actually convinced myself. Thanks.

    Thanks for the edits. Surprised we never crossed paths until now, but maybe we don't have a lot of subject cross-over. And I'm a Brewers fan, so y'all better not catch us since I still haven't gotten over '82--I might tear down the Arch!

    Peter,

    As St. Louis Cardinals CL's, I think we need to get our writers back in the habit of giving us good game recaps and opinion pieces. We have been slacking as of late, no one has written a Cardinals piece in a couple of days.
