Chris's Bio

I have always loved being involved with sports. While I have always enjoyed a wide variety of sports, football has always been number one for me.

I am enjoying the opportunity to write about my passion for football......especially (but not limited to) when it comes to using my football knowledge to prognosticate fantasy football trends and results.

Many people assume a lot of research is a waste of time because they believe fantasy football is "mostly luck". While I do believe luck plays a major role, my motto is "luck favors the prepared".

I can never have enough information. I scrutinize every player move, statistic, and anything else pertaining to football. It is my passion.

As for my writing, it is encouraging that many of my articles have been published (or linked) by Fox Sports and CBS Sports.

THE PICTURE is of me at Hooters in Las Vegas, as a top eight finalist in a national Sports Buff Salary Cap Football Contest.

Out of roughly six thousand contestants, the eight highest fantasy scorers win an expense paid, 2 night trip to Las Vegas.

Once there, you draft a fantasy team consisting of players from teams that made the NFL Playoffs, in an attempt to win the top prize of 30 K.

I ended up finishing third.

I was disappointed that I did not win the top prize, but it was still the most awesome fantasy football experience to date.

Thanks for reading :)

Favorite Sports Teams

All Time Sports Moment

Superbowl XVII Redskins beat Dolphins. Gamebreaking play: John Riggins 43 yard TD run in 4th quarter on a 4th & 1.
Most Memorable Game Attended

1991 Redskins beat Falcons 24-7 in Divisional playoff game at RFK Stadium. I grew up a Redskins fan living in New York, it was always my dream to see a game at RFK. The stadium was rocking!!! Awesome day, and the Redskins went on to win the Superbowl that year!
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

My heart is with the Big East....but no conference dominates it's sport like the SEC dominates in football. A college playoff system would prove that theory!

Hey Chris!

Hopefully you are watching the Lakers in the Finals! The Lakers dominated Game 1 of the Finals with ease!! Rebounding, backcourt, frountcourt play, and great defense all attributed to a great win! And don't forget about Kobe! I just finished my recap of the game.

Hey Chris, just stopping by to ask a simple question. How do you know if someone clicks "article of the day" for one of your articles, and where can you see this "stat" ranked amongst other articles? (I'm a rook on this site so any help would be appreciated)

Thanks,

Taylor
