About Jordan »

Hey everybody I'm Jordan. I am a HUGE fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, Royals, and the Kansas Jayhawks. I am from Missouri but I'm definitly not a Mizzou Tiger fan. I am also a proud Raider hater and I hate the Broncos as well.
I love basketball, football, and baseball. I am tall and slender but don't play very many sports in high school... I do play baseball though.
I didn't really want to be a journalist when I got a bleacher report but since I've gotten it it has changed me significantly and I would love to be a sports journalist when I get older. I broadcast my high schools varsity football and basketball games on the internet and do the stats for William Jewell College football games.

Hey Jordan,

Decided to start doing weekly MLB Power Rankings. If you get the chance, I'd like it if you took a look. Thanks.

Some think it's genius, some think it's insane. Read my take on the Matt Cassel contract extension.

Hey,

After the great success of my first article about the uniform numbers 1-10, I have come back with the next installment, with the best players to wear the uniform numbers 11-20. I hope you can take a look and even comment on my choices. Thanks in advance!

Jordan, what do you think we can expect out of Matt Cassel? Will he pay off in the end? I'd love any feedback you may have.

Hey Jordan,

I wrote a piece in May highlighting the position players that I thought should make the all star team. I started a 2-part follow up piece today focusing on starting pitchers. I started with AL. If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it. Thanks

Hey Jordan,

People of my generation look at them fondly as the players they watched as little kids, people of other generations may just look at them as great players. I created a slide show highlighting the best players of the 1990's. If you get a chance, take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Hey Jordan,

There was a touching moment in the Mariners game last night, made possible by the best pitcher I've ever gotten to watch - Randy Johnson. Watching history unfold inspired to me take a look at his incredible career and count down his five best moments, in my eyes. If you get a chance, take a look at it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot.
