Jonathan's Bio

Jon is what you would call a "beaten puppy" sports fan. He grew up in the Bay Area during the glory days of the Oakland A's and the San Francisco 49ers. He walked around as a youngster idolizing Steve Young and Jose Canseco. Things were great until the millenium came. His three favorite franchises (A's, 49ers, and Sacramento Kings) began to decline in to the jokes we see take the field (or court) today.

Each team refused to take the necessary steps to take themselves out of the cellar and back in to respectability. Jon was forced to move to Southern California which had become the "land of winners" where he was ridiculed on a daily basis for his Northern California sports fandom.

Rather than take these indignations lying down, he started his own sports blogs in the hopes that someone (anyone) would listen to his pleas and bring a winning attitude back to the Bay.

Someone please help. Mark Cuban, I am looking in your direction.

Jonathan Writes About

The Short List facts and information about Jonathan Colomb

Favorite Athletes

Charles Barkley. That is it. He is the man.

Favorite Sports Teams

Oakland A's, San Francisco 49ers, and Sacramento Kings. I know, I am in for a long streak of bad seasons.

All Time Sports Moment

The A's beating the heavily favored Minnesota Twins in the 2006 playoffs, 3-0. Oakland doesn't often win playoff series.

Most Memorable Game Attended

Kings versus the Nets in 2002. Sitting next to the King's bench and talking with Keon Clark. He smelled like booze.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cal Ripken's streak. I am referring to the streak where he continued to play despite the fact he was clearly not any good at baseball anymore. Yeah, that one.

Ruth or Mays?

Mays...always.

Unitas or Montana?

Montana...unless we are referring to who has a better haircut.

Pele or Maradona?

I decline to comment.

Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Pac 10, although the Big East is a close second. I love California but I have family roots at UCONN.
