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.

    Excellent start for the Hawks, They have been really impressive. Looks like Bowmanns gamble on the D is playing off,or at least the great forwards up front are making them seem much better. Either way, Hawks look like the team to beat.

    Waiting to finally get some great hockey articles from 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!
