Chaz's Bio

Chaz Mattson has great insight into most of the sports world. His favorite sports to cover are baseball and football on the professional and college levels. He has previously been a high school coach and has been both a position coach and coordinator. Moreover he is creative and technical in his approach to writing and strategic problem solving. As a coach and player he experienced multiple undefeated and single loss seasons. As a Colorado native, he grew up watching the Broncos since 1970 and taught himself the game through watching games, research, and reading daily reports. Finally he also can give a sound opinion on the NFL, MLB, NCAA, NHL, Tennis, and Texas Hold Em strategies.
