Jonathan's Bio

I have been a sports fan for all my life. Many of my great moments in life were found in ballparks and hockey rinks. I have worked as a reporter, writing local sports articles and editorials for a weekly paper. I have played fantasy football since 1992 and still find time to have a family and work for a living.

Hey Jonathan, I noticed you were ranked the #1 Rams writer and I just wanted to know what you thought about by latest article - taking a look at the match-up between Aaron Curry and Jason Smith in week one.

If you have time, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
