Jim Flannery
Jim has been a sports junkie for as far back as he can remember. Over the years, he has been in the stands for virtually every sport he has ever had access to, including hockey, football, soccer, basketball, curling, stock car racing, volleyball, netball, badminton, lacrosse, and probably a few more as well. Jim has been coaching high school-age baseball for a quarter century, is a competitive curler in the winter, and would spend every other waking moment watching or writing about sports if he could.
