About

I'm a lifelong Chicago sports fan who grew up watching the White Sox on channel 44 with Harry Carey and Jimmy Piersall. Thanks to the Blackhawks, I can now say I've witnessed Chicago championships in the four major sports during my lifetime. Hopefully I'll be around to celebrate a few more.

I recently finished my first NHL season as a Chicago Blackhawks Featured Columnist. I also am a contributor to The Third Man In website (http://thethirdmanin.com). In addition, I am now proud to say that I am a FC on the Chicago White Sox page.

    If you are interested in a fantasy hockey league I need a few more owners in an established yahoo league. It's the 7th year for my H2H points based league. Live draft is tomorrow night at 7:30. All of the owners are active all season. League ID is 34284 password is 1. I look forward to seeing you.

    Hey, would you be able to send your e mail to klangan@omnipossible.com? I want to get the B/R community leaders on a mailing list for a press release on behalf of Sports Media 101.

    Thanks

    Hey Jon, nice piece on the 5 Blackhawks who need to step up in camp. Totally agree, but I think you might be handing 2nd line C to Kruger prematurely. If that DID happen, it would help the team (provided he can really do the job). I still question whether he's ready at C, or can be spotted at LW on different lines. Nice work regardless.

    Hey Jon

    Should the White Sox chase Dunn at the cost of losing Konerko?

    Thanks!
