Tyler's Bio

I'm obsessed with pro and college baseball, love both pro and college football, basketball and hockey are ok, and I'm beginning to like soccer more each time I watch it. In particular I'm obsessed with the Chicago Cubs and Nebraska Cornhuskers.

My editorial experience stems from blogs like this one, sports writer in high school for our student newspaper, and a marketing internship with Sports Illustrated.

I am a huge fan of sarcasm, satire, and speaking about things how they appear. Political correctness is ruining American journalism, so don't expect it on my postings! Enjoy...

    I agree. I've been saying all year that he should be the closer. In the long run I think he will be more durable than Wood. I just hope Wood can sustain the dominance he's shown lately and the Cubs can continue this domination.
