About Luke »

Hello sports writers, my name is Luke Jelen and I live in the State of South Dakota.
I am one of those guys who could chat about sports for 24 hours strait, and never get bored. That is why I joined.

I have a lot of sports teams that I love and they include:
The Minnesota Twins, Vikings, T-wolves, and Minnesota Gophers. Also, I like the San Diego Chargers, Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics (until K.G. and Ray Allen leave), North Carolina Tar-heels, and the Texas Longhorns.
My favorite of them all, the Twins, I am a die-hard fan for ... I would give my left arm for another World Series win!

I'm mostly going to write about the Twins and Vikings. Hope you enjoy!
