Ryan Shuck's Kansas City Chiefs Extended Profile

A friend of mine calls me an enigma wrapped in a mystery. A guy who knows sports, teams and stats like the back of his hand but could cite you pages out of Lord of the Rings novels or give you a ten page review on the latest MMORPG. I've been married ten years to my lovely wife Rachel who teaches Espanol and I have two boys ages eleven and eight.

I love the Kansas City area pro sports teams. As a child when everyone was wearing Cardinals red I was rooting for Royals blue and George Brett. In 1985 I was an impressionable ten year old kid and watching that World Series had a profound impact on my fandom. Bret Saberhagen, Mark Gubicza, Dan Quisenberry, Frank White, Steve Balboni, George Brett and the rest were some great players that had a magical season. Perhaps it was my desire to be different or perhaps it was because I really liked Brett's swing. I don't know what it was but I always found myself drawn to Kansas City more than St. Louis and their teams.

You will find me perusing all Chiefs and Royals news as it floats about the net and I'm a huge fan of obscure "sabremetric" stats to see true value in MLB and NFL players. Baseball Prospectus and the NFL Outsiders are the kings of what they do.

I have written for the Ozarks Basketball and Football Preview Magazine as a ghost writer for an area television sports celebrity.

Avid fan and stats guy for the KC Chiefs, KC Royals, NFL and MLB at large
