About

I am currently a junior at the University of Missouri-Columbia and majoring in Sports Management with a minor in Business.

If you give me the opportunity, I will talk your ear off about all things sports. That said, I decided to use sports writing as an outlet for my passion.

I'm a Chicago sports lifer – Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks and especially, the Flubs. I mean, Cubs, from which I didn't get from my father (he's a Sox fan). I love deep-dish pizza, Navy Pier and long walks on North Avenue Beach (sarcasm).

I feel my best work lies within the realm of Fantasy Football. So if you're team is struggling or you just want a fresh take, check out some of my stuff or shoot me a question.

Brian has recently graduated the B/R Internship program and is now a Featured Columnist for Fantasy Football and the Missouri Tigers.

    I see you prefer Cruz over Nicks in Week 9. I have both on my roster, along with Santonio Holmes, Julio Jones and Antonio Brown. So which two would you pick for Week 9 and why?

    No problem, man. Only reason I didn't include Nate is because he was in literally every waiver wire slideshow we produced this week, was trying to go a different route.

    And I definitely understand why you would make a case for him with Britt out for the year. I just think Nate will draw a lot of coverage from opposing defenses, as without a run game, Tenny is very predictable on offense and has little targets outside of him.

    Will be interesting to watch his production in next couple of weeks.

    You're probably a decent kid, but you do not appear to know football. What makes you think that WVU will score 38 points on LSU or that the Hogs will hang 35 on the Tide?
