About

I'm Paul Thompson, a lifelong sports fan from Kansas City. My teams have always been the Royals and Chiefs, so being born in 1986, I have never seen a professional sports championship in my town. I did, however, enjoy an NCAA national title as a 2008 University of Kansas graduate (as well as a BCS win in the Orange Bowl).

I work for a community newspaper in Grandview, Missouri called the Jackson County Advocate, where I cover the school board and high school sports beat. Before that I worked part-time at the Kansas City Star as a sports clerk and then page designer for the sports department.
