Age:
28
Where'd ya go to high school?:
Notre Dame High School

Bio:
A life long resident of St. Louis, I have an associates degree from STLCC Meramec, a few Doctorates in various fields from random universities and far too many credentials to list. I plan on furthering my already extensive education and vast knowledge when my 7 year old son graduates highschool and chooses a college. Then I'm going to secretly enroll in the same college without telling him. And when I run into him on campus one day, I'll act all surprised and say "Omigod! What a coincidence! We go to the same college!"

Pat Imig

Role:
Columnist
Age:
22
Where'd ya go to high school?:
CBC

Bio:
Born in Manchester. After graduating from CBC, I made my way to Mizzou to study journalism. The one thing it has taught me is that TV reporting sucks. On another note, if you happen to be in Columbia over the next couple of months, give Papa John’s a call and I may just deliver your pizza (of course, I’m not joking).

Was able to join the sports empire known as joesportsfan.com a little over a year ago, after bribing Josh with an autographed Lee Tunnel rookie card. Since then, I have spent most of my time documenting the circus that is ESPN. While I find it highly entertaining, I’m pretty sure it isn’t normal.


Favorite TV Show(s):
Family Guy. Forensic Files is solid too
Favorite STL Personality:
Can’t go wrong with Joe Buck or Bob Costas. Also a fan of Bryan Burwell.
