About

My name is Tony and I am currently a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have always had a passion for sports and am a die-hard Cubs and Bears fan. Jay Cutler is my favorite player in any sport, and I will argue with anybody who doesn't think he's great.

Baseball is my real passion though, and I can't wait for Theo Epstein to work his magic and hopefully end the longest drought in sports. Go Cubs!

    Welcome to the team Tony! Hope you are looking forward to a miserable Cubs season like I am! (Low expectations make any good results feel great)

    No problem, Tony. Stuff happens. I like how you made predictions following each question to generate discussion. Best of luck with your writing, and hopefully your Bears can work out a long-term deal with Matt Forte. Jay Cutler is nothing without him!
