Hi. My name is Sam, and I'm a sports nerd.(This is your cue...) Hi, Sam.
If you are a very close reader of our paper, a hardcore Royals fan, or my mother, you may be vaguely familiar with my stuff. If so, I apologize. I'm trying to do better.
This all comes up because at least for a bit, I'll be crashing the party here at Upon Further Review. I'm going to still try to keep Ball Star active, but with the Royals' season over*, this is a good opportunity to talk about other stuff in the sports world.
* You might be wondering why we didn't make this switch on May 8.
Anyway, please be nice. Hopefully my posts here will respect your intelligence, challenge some thoughts, tell you stuff you don't know, and always keep the perspective that this is just sports we're talking about.
As always, I love keeping an open communication with people nice enough to read the paper. I'll be in the comments section at times, am always available at smellinger@kcstar.com, and please follow me on Twitter.
First "real" post coming today, about either my Miguel Cabrera-less MVP ballot or Tony Stewart being a jackass. First e-mailer to smellinger@kcstar.com gets to be my boss.
Just don't fire me.
I've got dogs to feed.
Where are your college allegiances. We already have a KU Fanboy in M&M. Tigers are 4-0, and getting ready to Roll NU on Primetime Thursday night. If I see a post about the Tigers by then, you are accepted into the UFR lineup... otherwise... things could get dire.
