About Armchair Culture
| 03 March 2009
Armchair Culture started out as a couple wordpress blogs. Mainly focusing on sports, Love Without Nagel's Sports Blog generated considerable traffic. With the limitations of a wordpress blog, and the idea of combining several blogs (along with out constant need for attention and to bitch about things), Armchair Culture was born. It's a hobby site for the few of us that contribute. We don't expect any financial gain from this site. We just want a place to express our opinions and receive hate mail from people that don't agree with them.
We are always looking for contributors to the site. We encourage people with dissenting opinions to contribute. It will be much more fun to mock you that way. Please just register on the site and contact us asking to be a contributor.

THRILLHO
is not a ‘stat man’ (you can get those from LWN), but he knows what he likes, and what makes him angry. He is a fan of the heart-breakers. The Buffalo Bills and the Syracuse Orange are the two teams closest to his heart. He is also a UB alumnus. He knows what it is like to hang onto false hope, and what it is like to stick with a team no matter how terrible they are. His sports peeves are vocal fans that are only on the bandwagon. As a bitter Bills fan, he feels that you have to earn your place as a fan, and he respects people that do. THRILLHO is currently living in Gainesville, FL with his wife, and has been a Gator football season ticket holder for the past 4 seasons.
His hobbies outside of sports are numerous and include Home Brewing, Video Games, movies, being outdoors, going to concerts, and annoying his wife the best he can.

Love Without Nagel
is a classically trained sports analyst. His main focus is college and professional football. He also enjoys looking at the point spreads and statistics.
No topic is off limits or too zany for LWN. He regularly discusses, pop culture, television, movies, and other newsworthy topics. His true passion is hatching hair-brained schemes, uncovering conspiracies and ranting. LWN has a masters degree in Sport Management from Indiana University - Bloomington, an undergraduate degree from the University at Buffalo. He is the self-proclaimed “#1 Handicapper in Marion County, Indiana.” In his contributions you will find clever observations about every day topics, sports news, and non-sports related material. The obscure moniker, “Love Without Nagel” was given to LWN by Experimental/Trip Hop/ Funkadelic musician Smokey McTrees, who wrote a song by the same title about the author of the blog.
Love Without Nagel draws all power from his mustache.

Kaplan
is a long way from home but hasn’t noticed yet. Instead he wanders thru the epinephrine filled vestibules with one foot on the fishing prowess and the other on ballyhoo. Some people think that if one rides the pestiferous jackal they will often endure the precipice of sanctity, but Kaplan572 tends to lean in the direction of nondisclosure. If it were up to him the many flagons of moral ineptitude would be salted by the winds of majesty till the towns of yore pontificate with glorious splendor. He also likes sports.
