Hi, I'm Scott. I was born and raised in Kansas and I have a couple of degrees from Kansas State University and a law degree from the University of Minnesota Law School. I moved to New York City in 2000 and I've been here every since. But my obsession with the Kansas City Royals has only grown since I moved here.

I will state my opinions clearly, boldly and sometimes undipomatically. Sometimes I'll agree with you, but often I'll disagree with you. I will challenge your statements and I'll be critical. Don't take it personally. I just state my opinions and I enjoy a good discussion or debate more than just expressing my agreement.
