About

April 25, 2011

My name is John Wright. I’m married to Melissa, and we live in Ringgold, Georgia (near Chattanooga, Tennessee). I graduated from Harding University in May 2006, got married, and moved back to the place I originally called home.  Our family is in the process of growing, with twin boys on the way late this summer.

My goal with this blog is to create a forum for insightful analysis and discussion of the various topics that interest me. Most of my writing is about sports, particularly baseball and basketball, and if you’ve read any of it already, you already know it’s mostly analytical in nature.

I love to the analytical side of sports. I find numbers persuasive because they help tell the parts of the story that the eye doesn’t always see. Not everyone shares that viewpoint, especially in the sports world, so it’s possible that you’ll read a lot of things with which you disagree. That’s fine, as long as we remain civil.

Occasionally, I’ll post about politics, religion, music or something else, whatever is on my mind at the moment. If you share my interests, or even if you don’t, please leave a comment and let me know what you think about the site or any particular topic.

In order to comment, you’ll need to register for a user name. WordPress makes that fairly painless, but let me know if you have trouble.

I also moderate comments for those who haven’t posted before. If you’re having trouble posting a comment for the first time, just be patient and see if it shows up a few hours later.

I try to think before I post, so I trust you to think before you comment. It makes the discussion so much better that way.
Please be courteous and help me make this blog a pleasant reading experience for anyone who comes across it.

Have fun. I enjoy writing, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading and discussing things with me.  If you would like to contact me, the best way to do so is on Facebook or Twitter.
