Bryan Dietzler
I had been writing about professional football for over 17 years but am now getting into baseball and writing about my beloved Chicago White Sox. I have a deep interest in the Sox and love the history, the current team and the fans. Hopefully, my writing is able to give other fans of the Sox something to take interest in and look forward to. Thank you for reading!

Chip Egan
Fan of good sports, food, cold beer and Springsteen music. I follow trends in sports media and am hoping for the SIU Salukis to make the NCAA basketball tournament again. Breaking Bad, Sopranos, SCTV and Seinfeld are the best one through four hitters in tv history.

Todd Welter
Raised in Johnsburg, IL. as a diehard Bears and White Sox fan. Grew disgusted with the Blackhawks when they traded away Jeremy Roenick, Eddie Belfour, Chris Chelios and let Tony Amonte leave in free agency. Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, and Duncan Keith fixed all that. Marquette alum. Host of Locked on White Sox. Covered the Milwaukee Brewers, Bucks, Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers football & basketball, and Marquette basketball for Newsradio 620WTMJ and the Associated Press.

About FanSided
The idea of FanSided was born in 2007, when two brothers felt that their favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was being under-covered by the mainstream media. Taking matters into their own hands, they launched Arrowhead Addict, a move that would spawn the creation of FanSided in 2009, a network of over 300+ fan-powered unique sports, entertainment and lifestyle sites dedicated to team-specific, sport-specific, genre-specific, and fanbase-specific coverage. From sports, movies and TV to lifestyle and tech, FanSided has you covered.
