Kevin's Bio

A die hard sports fan with an interest in every major American Sport, most at both the Professional and College Levels. Also an enthusiast of Rugby, having played it during my college career. Specialize in Professional and College Football, but can also talk intelligently about Baseball, Pro and College Basketball, Hockey, and Rugby, with very general understandings of Aussie Rules Football and Soccer.

Being Born in Chicago, my favorite teams consist of the Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, and Cubs along with an undying love of the University of Notre Dame. Also having attended the University of Nebraska, The Cornhuskers maintain a special place as well. However, having lived all over the country, I possess an understanding of sports and their culture in many different parts of the United States, having lived in California, Texas and Kansas.

Yeah, the Cubs are in first place right now. But are they a contender or a pretender? Check out my Division Leader Contenders/Pretenders piece and see what you think.

Hey Kevin—Jeff here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our Cubs page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at jeff@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Jeff

Great article! I just tweaked your teaser, separated your paragraphs, and made some other style related changes. Make sure everything checks out to your liking—keep up the awesome work!
