About Kristin »

I am Kristin and I absolutely love sports--especially football. I grew up with two older brothers who beat "football is the best sport ever" into my brain. I thrive on the passion the sport holds and always am up for watching a good game.

My dream job would be to work on the sidelines for ESPN. While I inch myself closer to that accomplishment, I still continue writing as I love the passion involved with it. I try never to be bias and always try and walk away learning something from one of my articles, whether it be from a fellow member here on B/R or just the research I do for them.

B/R has been a great thing for me. I have actually ended up scoring a couple REAL interviews with some NFL players that either played the game or are still playing the game :)

So those of you who think that this is just a site that doesn't really get you noticed, think again. This has been a great stepping stone for me.

Thanks again for your interest in my articles.

Hi Kristin,

I haven't heard from you in a while. I've been reading some of your latest articles, your Favre pieces are more than readable, which is more than I can say for a bunch of other writers. :P

I don't pimp my articles because usually I'm writing to a pretty defined audience, but this article I just wrote is pretty general. I don't know if you might dig it, but here's the link anyway.

Thanks!
