About Alan »

I am a married with a son and a daughter.

I have been writing for about seven years. I have written for local newspapers covering high school sports and Northwestern University. I have also written for many websites covering high school sports, the Chicago Bulls and College Basketball.

I have been sports fan since I was in the womb (probably). I have been strongly influenced by a family of sports fans. My grandfather had Chicago Bears and Black Hawks season tickets when I was very little and my father Bulls Seasons tickets until I was in high school. My favorite sports are College Basketball and the NFL. I am a die hard fan of many teams led by Arizona Basketball, the White Sox and San Diego Chargers. I also love tennis.

    Alan,

    The old logo is so much better than the current one. I did a preview of DePaul's upcoming season. I hope you like it.

    Thanks Alan for signing on as a fan. I appreciate it. Did I write anything that made you feel that way.

    As I'm sure you are, I'm busy quite a bit of the time and don't have a chance to check out the site a lot.

    Send me one of your articles that you think I might like. I definitely like the NBA and the Bulls if that's your interest. I actually sometimes get in to cover the Bulls as media.

    Good luck to you in your endeavors.

    It's a shame Chase Budinger fell so far in the draft.

    Look to see what I have to say about that and his future in the NBA: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/209900-does-chase-budinger-have-a-future-in-the-nba

    Let me know what you think,

    Thanks!

    I know it's sacrilegious for a life-long Chicagoan to compare anyone to MJ, but I done did it:
