About chase »

16 year old dealing with the trivial happenings of living in small-town Saskatchewan Canada, considered the middle of nowhere for North American sports. Hit me up with feedback or article ideas and for all you webmasters my services are always available for exclusive content. My email is ruttigchase@gmail.com if you want to email me for any reason.

My favourite sport is basketball and it is what I follow the most. I play for my school's varsity team and it is what keeps me away from BR for most of the winter.

I believe in picking a team and sticking with it, but also being impartial in your writing when the time is right.

My Fave teams:

NFL: New York Giants
NBA: Toronto Raptors
MLB: Toronto Blue Jays
NHL: Vancouver Canucks
MLS: Toronto FC
European Club Football: Bayern Munich FC

I also love MMA and try to watch it as much as my budget will allow, my favourite thing to do is trolling the net for retro highlights of sports and I always seem to end up watching the old PRIDE and UFC fights.

My favourite athlete is Reggie Miller, but he really needs to stop his TNT gig before I forget how he owned MSG.

I will follow almost any sport and will write about anything. I hope to have some sort of job in sports when I grow up, no matter how minor it is. I hope you all enjoy my writing. I read almost everything shown to me so if you are looking for reads and comments just send it my way.

You’ll all be happy to know that I am pushing the publication date of the magazine back to around November 15th when the playoffs will be starting. It just doesn’t make much sense to put one out at the end of October. This is good because I am also busy right now as I am sure you all are.

Anyway, the theme for our playoff preview will be, “Why the … will win the Cup”. For our team section we will be doing one article for each team that makes the playoffs stating why they have a shot to win the Grey Cup. I think this is fitting because any team can win in the playoffs. Obviously every playoff team hasn’t been determined, but if you would like to write an article about a certain team let me know, even if they haven’t secured a playoff spot. I already have one writer for the Saskatchewan Roughriders and I assume Calgary Stampeders, so every other team except the Toronto Argonauts are up for grabs. Similiarrily, if you would like to write a team article for a team that doesn’t make the playoffs you can as well. The team previews will basically be first come first serve (unless you are a team writer who has been writing about a particular team all season long in which case you can have the chance if you would like)

Also, for our playoff preview, it would be cool if everyone made their predictions once the teams were determined. This way I could list all of the previews and we could see who is right at the end. Also, if each writer could send a list anytime of who they think the league all-star team should be then I could once again put them all together.

Besides these playoff previews, if you have any other idea for an article, preferably something that kind of wraps up the regular season let me know. Also, if you have an idea for a monthly column or something let me know as well.

Finally, if you own a website or write for a site and would like to advertise it on the mag let me know. It of course will be free. You can either send me a rough design of your add or just tell me what you would like to say.

If you have any questions give me a shout

Thanks
Jonathan
