SportingGurus.com is the brainchild of two self-proclaimed “sports experts”, Baron von Awesome and Bryan Alsworth, who have spent the last four years discussing, theorizing, debating and basically dissecting all things sports. What qualifies us as legitimate gurus? Well, we say we are. That puts us on an even footing with the Joe Bucks of the world.
Justin Zeth
Justin Zeth, somewhere in his mid-20s, grew up in western Pennsylvania but fled into the hills of Nowhere, Tennessee, under pursuit from international authorities. He has been writing random things about sports for several years with his poisonous blend of heartlessness, sarcasm, cynicism and occasional tastelessness. Reading his writings may or may not be hazardous to your health.
Zeth had the misfortune of being born a Pittsburgh fan, but six years into the McClatchy administration he announced permanent divorce from the Pittsburgh Pirates and founded the mysterious International Brotherhood of Renegade Baseball Fans (IBRBF). He now professes that his favorite baseball team is “whoever is playing the Yankees today.” He maintains his loyalty to the Steelers and Penguins, though this results in his being especially vicious against their bad decisions. He also writes, under a pseudonym, for AtHomePlate.com somewhere in the neighborhood of once a week.
Bryan Alsworth
Bryan, 23, was born in Dallas, Texas, but currently resides in Houston. His passion for meticulously analyzing all things in the sporting world has left him in a state of temporary unemployment, yet he remains unfazed. While he clearly favors football, as he has since age 9, he also boasts an impressive knowledge of hockey, baseball, basketball and NASCAR (although a recent string of events has led him to write a petition to have NASCAR reclassified as “sports-entertainment”, the same category in which World Wrestling Entertainment resides).
This blog is essentially our little corner of the Web where we do any number of things involving the sports world — debate on a recent event, make a prediction or two, offer advice to struggling teams, reflect on the career of a retiring athlete… you name it, you’ll likely see it on this blog at some point.
Adam Adkins
Adam, who we believe is somewhere between age 15 and 55, was originally a mild-mannered necktie salesman at Macy’s, until that unfortunate New Year’s Eve party at “Bubba” Skeetholler’s house. It started out innocently enough, but then a bunch of weird stuff happened, and Adam ended up having to hide the corpses under his tool shed. After that he vanished into the wilderness of Uzbekistan for awhile and somehow ended up with a career as a mystic, calling himself Baba Yomama. Then some more weird stuff happened, and now here he is: A sporting guru!
Adam also writes for At Home Plate.
Respect for the New England Patriots
One final note — We have the UTMOST RESPECT for the New England Patriots.
