Jon 's Bio

I grew up in Indiana and attended Indiana University. My first love is College Football followed by the NFL, College Basketball, Open-Wheeled racing, Boxing and Hockey.

I joined The Bleacher Report because I love sports and writing.

I have and eclectic mix of teams I love to follow, made up of mostly places I have lived, worked or spent significant time in. They include the Indianapolis Colts, Indiana Hoosiers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, San Antonio Spurs, Auburn Tigers, UConn Huskies, Texas Longhorns, Dallas Cowboys and the Colorado Buffalos.

My favorite sporting event definitely has to be the Indy 500.

I have adverse reactions to the New England Patriots, Ohio State Buckeyes, North Carolina basketball, Los Angeles Lakers and Alabama football.

Is Ben Roethlisberger more clutch than Tom Brady and the rest of the league? I've created a new measure to test quarterback "clutchness". Find out how Peyton Manning fairs.

This is my exclusive interview with Indianapolis Colts Wide Receiver, Roy Hall. Without question, having been able to conduct this interview with Roy has been my greatest work here on Bleacher Report to date. Find out what Roy has to say about his football career, the players he's worked with, and what we can expect from the Colts in 2009...

Wow Jon, I attended Concordia too. The blog is a work in progress, hopefully you'll like it. I'm trying to focus on local sports, especially the Tincaps, as well as a few other things. Thanks for the fan add and I have one coming your way.
