About TJ »

I am one of the biggest Chiefs/Jayhawk fans you will meet, and I have an opinion about everything. I've been a football fan since I was 3, when my uncle had me memorize every team's helmets. I was born and raised in Kansas City, and have grown up watching and admiring both KU Basketball, and the Chiefs.

I love college sports, but the NFL is my passion; it's my religion. I can't remember the last time I missed watching a Chiefs game, and I watch every other NFL game that is broadcast in the area. I fancy myself an expert (as do most of us I'm sure) and smarter than most of the analysts (Hey my NFL Mock Draft was better than both McShay and Kiper Jr!).

I've recently been watching more and more of the NBA. Until a few years ago, I never really was a fan of the pro game, but I've started watching it solely to keep up with all of the KU graduates (There's just so many now in the NBA, but that's a high class problem to have, huh?), so naturally my favorite teams to watch are the Celtics, Bulls, Heat (I'm lovin' that Chalmers is starting already), and Hornets.

Hey TJ,

I was looking through some profiles, and I realized I had yet to add you as a fan! Silly me, I thought I already covered that but oh well. I suppose I've been able to find you on the front page of the Chiefs' section.

Do you plan on doing a write up after the Chiefs' first pre season game tomorrow night? I'm pretty excited about it, the season is almost here!

Anyway, the real reason I'm writing you today is because I was lucky enough to check out the Pro Football Hall of Fame last weekend, and as a fan of the game, it was the most incredible experience I've encountered. This encouraged me to share the feeling with the entire B/R community.

If you get the chance, please check it out. It's why I believe every football fan should visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Let me know what you think.
