Matt's Bio

My name is Matt Konkle and I'm over a year removed from college. I graduated UDel with a Biology degree, but I'm aspiring to become a sports journalist, or more specifically, Mel Kiper Jr.'s protege. I bleed the green and gold of the Green Bay Packers and having lived in Wisconsin for the earliest 7 years of my life, I will always remain true to my roots. I'm trying to get my start with a local newspaper, and hopefully from there, in years time, I will ascend to the upper ranks of the sports journalism community, ultimately with ESPN or the NFL Network. This would be the ideal career for me and a dream come true, and I will do what it takes to achieve that lofty but attainable goal.

Hey Matt,

Would like to know what you think about my latest article involving the hype of Louisville. I, for a fact, have something to say about that.

This might be the most interesting article I've written to date. Did you know that from 1960 to 1969 the NFL held a "Playoff Bowl" pinning the runners-up from each Conference in a game to determine the 3rd place team of the NFL?

The entire history is right here...

I'm trying really hard to win the POTD with this and have already managed to earn a few votes, hopefully I'll earn yours as well.

Hope you enjoy,
