The New PFB Roster, Part 2

If you're new here, and you're into sports and/or the Christian faith, subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I teased this last week, and now the time has come to start unveiling the writers who will be joining me as contributors on the site.
When I decided to expand the blog, I targeted writers who I respected for their writing skillz, the books they had authored, the average number of greens they hit in regulation, the connections they had, the number of bible verses they had memorized, and whether or not they could beat the crap out of me.
The Oceanic Six Authors that made the cut are money, and I look forward to collaborating with them to make Prayers For Blowouts a better experience for you, the reader. Some of them will post more than others, and that’s okay by me. I’ve not given them a mandate for how often I’d like them to contribute, I’ve only asked that when they have something to vent or ramble on about sports, that they do it here.
I decided to introduce the writers to y’all alphabetically, so here’s the second pair. I shared the first two on Wednesday and I’ll share the final two on Friday. Please join me in welcoming them to the team.
——————————
Chad Gibbs is the comedy editor for the Burnside Writers Collective and author of The Humblest of Beginnings, which cannot be purchased in stores, because it has yet to be published. When not writing unpublishable books, Chad spends most of his time playing golf and working on his second book, which probably won’t be published either.

Jordan Green used to live in Portland, Oregon, but now resides in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife Mindy. He is the editor of Burnside Writers Collective and of The Ankeny Briefcase, a compilation of short stories from unpublished writers which was co-edited by Donald Miller. Besides editing, Jordan Green has also worked as a courier, a barista at a large coffee purveyor, and as a US Army Counterintelligence Agent, among other things. He is an unabashed fan of the University of Oregon, the Portland Trailblazers, and WhatIfSports.com.

Jordan,

dave carter
p.s. - my apologies for the non-sports, non-faith related tangent. i hope this makes up for it: “Dear Lord, please smite the Lakers.”

I have to submit that the suspense is killing me. What has my life become?

I make excellent coffee, although I don’t drink it. The irony!
We do have excellent coffee roasters here, possibly because we’re slightly closer to places where coffee is actually grown.
Also, if you leave the beans outside, the heat will do the roasting for you. Oh, the convenience.

Sadly, Siren-large.
I have no idea where to go for coffee in Phoenix, but I’m sure Dan has a strong opinion that’s probably correct.
Phoenix is hot as balls. Sports balls!
