Bryan Allain is the creator of Prayers For Blowouts. He is a writer, an engineer, a father of two, a husband of one, a hack golfer, a decent softball player, a beast at Scrabble, a lifelong Red Sox fan, and quite possibly the worst fantasy sports player ever. Bryan can be found online on his website, on twitter, at the Burnside Writers Blog, at caedmonscall.net, or at donmillerfans.net. He can be found in person in Pennsylvania’s amish country.
Bryan is currently writing a book about the frequent collisions of sports and faith. If you are an interested editor or publisher, feel free to drop him an email for more information at prayersforblowouts(at)gmail(dot)com.

Jason Boyett is a writer, father of two, fanatical flyfisher, fantasy baseball aficionado, and long-time Chicago Cubs fan. Thus he has learned to live with both unbridled optimism (in March, April and May) and hopeless despair (the rest of the year). Jason blogs at jasonboyett.com and the Junky Car Club, and he’s the author of several books including Pocket Guide to the Bible, which you totally should buy for a crazy reduced price here. In his lifetime, Jason has played organized soccer, volleyball, basketball, softball, and flag football. But he plays none of them very well. He’s well-rounded in the most mediocre way possible.

Jesse Carey is a Producer for CBN.com by day. By night, he’s a regular at Virginia Beach YMCAs where he is known for his blistering hook shot, overly-aggressive boxing out and ability to win the head-game that is three-quarter-court men’s indoor basketball, even when the score board tells a different story.
He’s a fan of the Orlando Magic (he lived in Central Florida after college), New York Jets (his wife is from New York) and the Washington Nationals (the adopted Major League team of his hometown of Virginia Beach). Though he pulls for Duke in NCAA basketball, he would abandon all ACC loyalty to see the ORU Golden Eagles make it past the first round. His favorite athletes are: Kurt Rambis (and really anyone who wears goggles to basketball in), Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, Joe Namath and Lance Armstrong. He is known to sacrifice his body, his dignity and even long-standing friendships to win a pick-up game. When it comes to fantasy football, Jesse is not afraid to orchestrate back-room, multi-team, late-night, mildly-complex/sometimes-shady blockbuster trades. Under no circumstances will Jesse ever kick it away in a game of Madden, and he always goes for two, no matter what the logical score outcome dictates the right decision is. You can email him at jessecarey@hotmail.com.

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.
