About

Nobody really cares if you are miserable, so you might as well be happy. - Cynthia Nelms.

My name! My Name is Ben Gartland! But you already knew that...

I am Bleacher Report's resident nerdfighter! DFTBA!

I like to think of myself as the epitome of optimism for the IWC and just in general.(I still believe the Royals have a chance this season)

I'm pretty much a sports freak in Kansas City and I love it.
