I am a prospective Communications Major and student at Brigham Young University, and I enjoy to play, watch and especially write about, sports.

I was born in Chicago and raised in North Las Vegas NV.

I enjoy writing about College Football, College Basketball, NBA and the NFL.

The teams I actively root for are:

NCAAF: BYU Cougars, UNLV Rebels, and any non-power conference playing a "power" conference opponent.

NCAAB: UNLV Runnin' Rebels, BYU Cougars

NFL: Chicago Bears

NBA: Chicago Bulls

And I always am a sucker for the likable underdog, in any sport.

Favorite Athletes

Derrick Rose, Devin Hester, Jimmer Fredette, Harvey Unga
Favorite Sports Teams

Cougars, Rebels, Bears, Bulls
Favorite Coaches

Lovie Smith, Bronco Mendenhall, Lon Kruger

Hey Tyler,

In honor of my record 100th article, I have put together a fictitious list of an All-AFC South, All-NFC North, and All-Female Celebrity Football Duel, along with an exclusive on my sportswriting dream that's now becoming a reality.

Appreciate any feedback!

God Bless and Carpe Diem!

Hey Tyler. Just wanted to thank you again for reading and commenting on my article. I hope you'll share it with your friends & fellow fans/writers if you really do think it's worth mentioning.

PS - What's the general consensus out there about Jimmer? Do you think he'll keep his name in the draft? I'd love to see him play another year.

Hey Tyler, how are you doing these days?
I'd like for you to take a look at an article a friend of mine wrote and it deals with the BYU Cougars.

I know how much beneficial both posive and constructive criticsm can do for a writer in having other B/R writers giving advice, so I would appreciate it if you could help him with some benefical advice.

Thanks Tyler, hope you're coping well with the off-season with the tournament!

Tyler, I read your responseabout the Sun. You are correct about the web being he future of the news business, but the Sun may not last much longer. They lost one of thier main sports guys Ron Kantowski, to the RJ. They also have lost some sports guys to the AP accordng to a buddy of mine who covers UNLV for the AP. They may have a good web guy, but thier reporters are substandard.
