Name's Chris White, you can call me UZ. That's pronounced "ooze", not uhz, uzi or you-zee. Old high school nickname, don't ask.

I write about soccer, mostly. I'm the managing editor of Burgundy Wave, our home for the Colorado Rapids. I also occasionally throw down some words elsewhere on the internets as well.

In addition to being a noted football enthusiast, I also enjoy just about every other sport out there. Except Cricket. I still have absolutely no clue how that is supposed to work.
