About

My name is Tyler Ward and I currently live in Memphis, Tennessee.

I love everything about sports and can be considered a "sports fanatic". I've been watching any type of sport since I could remember, starting with NASCAR. I started watching football around ten years old and immediately became a fan of Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. And that's where my allegiance still stands.

I also love college football, as I'm an Alabama fan and hope to one day graduate from there. I also watch Basketball, Baseball, and NASCAR with my favorites being the Grizzlies, Villanova Wildcats, Boston Red Sox, and Jamie McMurray, respectively.

Along with my friend Stephen Patterson (who also writes for B/R), we created the site, Sports Guys Universe. Creating the site was one of the most profound things I have ever done and I still love it. I love to write, to put it simply and hope to make it my career someday.

I am currently 21 years old and attend Southwest Community College. I hope to take my talents to the University of Memphis at some point soon and to eventually leave the city of Memphis.
