Ryan's Bio

I am a fan of most sports, though my favorites have to be college basketball and both professional and college football. Since I follow those the most, that's what you will usually find my articles are written on.

I enjoy analyzing statistics between two teams—I find it to be an easy yet very useful way to analyze what I'm writing about.

Georgetown and Villanova Basketball Community Leader.

I also run the weekly College Hoops Pick 'Em on B/R. If you want to get involved, the teams to pick will come out in an article every Sunday or Monday. Keep an eye out for it and send me your picks!

If you have questions or comments about anything, feel free to reach out and contact me. You can send me an email at ryan.paul.brennan@gmail.com

I write for a new sports website—The Sports Chat Place—please stop by and check us out! If you ever saw The College Basketball Place (http://cbbplace.com) or The College Football Place (http://cfbplace.com), they are all being consolidated there under one name (along with a bunch of other sports).

Hey Ryan!

Hope all is well with you! Well, this Vick situation is owning NFL topics every day. And, although many people think he shouldn't come back to the NFL, I think he has been through enough...so I wrote an article on how I feel!

It would be great if you check it out for me! And drop a comment or two...thanks!
