Profile
Kevin is going into his junior year at Illinois State University majoring in Journalism with a minor in Business Administration. Last year Kevin started writing for the Daily Vidette which is the student newspaper at ISU as a Sports Reporter, and he is set to become a Sports Editor this year. Kevin has covered big and small sports ranging from Football, Baseball and Men’s Basketball to Golf and Gymnastics (although he hardly knew what was going on in the last one). Kevin is also a columnist for the Daily Vidette voicing his opinions on all levels of sports. Even through the Kyle Orton, Ben Wallace and Alfonso Soriano years, Kevin remains a Chicago sports junkie and will be until the day he dies. There was not a White Sox player in that sentence for a reason, but he has found a love for the Blackhawks as of late. But no matter what team is on the field or court, Kevin has an undying passion for the sports world which he has been lucky enough to pair with his love of writing. Kevin has participated in fantasy football over the past four years and enjoyed his most successful season last year by winning a championship (thanks Chris Johnson) and finishing in third place in his two leagues.

Success and failure in football [...]

Posted on Tuesday, August 3, 2010  

1. New York Jets Warning all NFL quarterbacks; Rex Ryan and the Jets defense are ready to pounce. You should probably hire your O-line to tuck you into bed at night because Ryan’s defense will stop at nothing to attack an opposing QB. The defensive schemes of Ryan and his staff will keep pressure on [...]
