About Tony »

Tony loves the Irish and all things Chicago (not named the White Sox). He tries not to be a homer, but its hard when Notre Dame and Chicago athletics are so ridiculously superior to any other city.

His work has been featured on CBSSports.com and BlueandGold.com.

Hey Tony,

Decided to have some fun with this. It's a humor piece about Survivor for athletes. I had a blast writing it, and I hope you get a good laugh out of it :)

If you get the time, I'd love to hear what you think. If not, no worries.
