About Jim »

I am a sophomore at Joliet Junior College. I work for the newspaper there, the Blazer, as the sports editor. I enjoy watching and writing about many different sports but my favorites would have to be football, basketball, and baseball specifically the Bears and the Cubs.

Thanks for the add. As the Cubs Community leader, I'd like to encourage you to write more Cubs articles and participate in some of the events I'm trying to get going. For example, if you send me your personal e-mail address, we can get a roundtable going, where I get everyone's opinion on a subject then publish an article about it. Or, we can think of a Cubs contest with the winner getting a BR t-shirt, for example. I'm open to ideas on how to make the Cubs part of the BR the best team site. Tell any friends who like to write about us too.

Thanks, Bob
