John Manuel (“Stinger”) – DC Staff Writer:
From John: I grew up an all DC sports fan except for the O’s (DC didn’t have a team). Fortunate to have a family with Skins season tickets which got me to two Super Bowls and various huge Maryland games. Things haven’t changed except my teams have not been as successful lately.
John gives Fanspeak.com a little taste of everything! He usually refers to Reality Television and his Fantasy Football leagues. All his blogs have a humorous touch, as he is truly the voice of a fan who really pays attention to all the sports, not just his favorite teams. But he’s a great fit as our DC Staff Writer, because he’s been following DC sports intensely for as long as he can remember.
Favorite Teams: Washington Redskins, Washington Capitals, Washington Wizards, Baltimore Orioles, Maryland Terrapins

Rob Yunich – NHL & NCAA Basketball Staff Writer:
Rob Yunich is devoted to two teams more than others: the Washington Capitals and Syracuse University (mostly basketball). While he follows many sports, hockey will always reign supreme. And, in that sport, there are four that earn his ire more than others: the Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers, New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers. For Syracuse, there’s one true enemy: the Georgetown Hoyas.
Favorite Teams: Washington Capitals, Syracuse Orange

Howard Ticker – NBA Staff Writer:
Howard is a recent WVU Sport Management graduate. He is a huge sports fan and loves to follow the New York Yankees, Knicks, Jets, and Rangers as well as WVU sports. Although I am from Gaithersburg Maryland, at a young age, my father got me into the New York sports teams because he grew up in Brooklyn, New York. I am a passionate spots fan and I love that Fanspeak gives me a chance to voice my opinions and write about what I love.
