About DJ »

I am a die hard fan of Chicago sports, well except for those "lovable losers" on the north side. I will write primarily about baseball, but I also have a soft spot in my heart for the NFL. I've also coached baseball and softball teams since I was 12 years old. I took over my own team when I was 17. I've coached tennis as well and am an avid bowler. I'm a huge Illini fan and love to watch college sports in general. Finally, I love playing golf, and while my handicap may be high, my enjoyment of the game is as well.

I just spewed out a useless article attempting to be funny about the Blackhawks. Humor me dammit!
