Aren's Bio

21 years old from Springfield, IL, I can get into just about any sport or game. Whether it's NFL playoffs, the World Cup, or track and field at the Olympics, I love all of it.

You only get one team from the four major sports. Mine: Packers, Cardinals, Bulls, and Blackhawks.

Here is my blog, mostly things I find amusing or interesting, but too short for articles.

SEC media policy makes it hard on fans, freelance journalists (of which many B/R writers are both). Thoughts?

Hey Aren,

Lou Gehrig has somehow been forgotten amongst the game’s immortals, even though he was possibly even more of a reason for the success of Ruth’s 1927 Yankees. Read about the quiet, forgotten leader of “Murderer’s Row,” Henry Lou Gehrig.

Thanks in advance!

How about taking a break from the draft and read this idea for Fall Programming. I am interested in your opinion! Thanks!

Good. What I'd like you to do is re-post the article under your name tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon or night. Change the title around and maybe some of the initial description, but leave the "entry text" and contest rules as-is. That way it will be up on the Packer "board" for people to see in the last days leading up to the draft.
