Paul Thompson
Paul Thompson is a lifelong Royals fan who doesn't let history, truth, or reality affect his optimism for the 2012 season. Despite his standing as an unabashed homer, Paul subscribes to the delusion that he can nonetheless write objectively about his favorite team.
For a living, Paul writes about schools and sports for the Jackson County Advocate in Grandview, MO, and even won a first place award from the Missouri Press Association in 2011 for his humor columns. When he's not busy covering Grandview or the Royals, Paul enjoys writing his personal bio's from a third person perspective.
