John's Bio

John comes from prestigious beginnings all of which he pretty much forgets. Most maintain John is an odd person, yet he maintains everyone else is odd so much so that they can’t recognize his greatness. Under the guise of a mild mannered sports reporter, there lies a pool of random knowledge and numerous ideas.

John is possibly one of the greatest minds of the 20th and 21st centuries, matching wits with Chad “Ocho Cinco” Johnson, Pete Rose, Jose Canseco and Bill Walton. He has studied at notable schools such as Frankie’s school for the extremely stupid, and Clown college.

We've been doing pretty good this year. But I wanted to know if you could possibly get someone else a link to the Raw Sports Blog. She's an up and coming phenom that goes to school at SUNY. Her name is Steph Rockwood, and she is a great writer. She just hasn't written anything in two months. Maybe you can get her back on the horse because she would be wasting a talent if she wasn't writing as much as she used to.
