I write the rumors, rants, and stories on the Indianapolis Colts and anything to do with soccer. I am a lover of ALL sports, but these two are at the top. I coach High School soccer, boys in the Fall and girls in the Spring. I have decided to take my love of these sports into a writing career by writing for Rant Sports and pursing my Communications Degree. Sports are my life, besides my wife and kids of course, so being able to write about them is a dream come true. I also bring latest sports news to the Twitter world, so follow me @cbbatchelder or find my facebook page Christopher B. Batchelder-Rant Sports.
