Growing up in Michigan, Joel Welser inherited a love for Big Ten sports. After defying all family traditions and not going to Michigan State, Joel headed out west to earn his bachelor degree from California State University, Northridge in Cinema Television Arts, specializing in screenwriting. For reasons still unknown, after his stint in Hollywood, Joel headed back to Michigan where he remains to this day complaining about the cold.

When not writing about football or basketball, Joel will work on the occasional film project and spend any remaining free time boating and sleeping.

Born, and mostly raised in Kentucky.
Went to high school and college in Tennessee before moving back to Kentucky to my wife's hometown.
Have one son who is in high school and plays football.
I'm a sports writer for a newspaper, primarily writing about high school sports and the University of Kentucky basketball and football teams.
On the rare occasions I find myself with a little bit of free time, I like to collect vintage baseball cards and play a golf, usually badly.
I'm an NFL nut. If I had to pick one sport to follow, it would be professional football. And I love playing fantasy football. Sundays wouldn't be the same without it.
I'm centrally located between Indianpolis, Cincinnati and Nashville, so there isn't a dominant fan base in the area, though the Titans are becoming more popular all the time.
I'm a Bengals fan. And that hasn't been easy.

Mike has pastored churches in rural Missouri and been happily married, both, for over 30 years. The only thing that has sustained his attention longer is a love for the game of baseball. He cultivated his passion for the game early on as a Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves fan. A move to the Kansas City area after college transformed him into a Royals supporter which has survived the last two decades of futility. He has been playing fantasy baseball since the days when Darren Daulton was a first round pick. Writing about America's pasttime and its players provides him another means of relishing the enjoyment of this great game.
