Meet The Team
Bob Heyrman
Bob's writing is comparable to the third starter in a rotation. Sometimes he throws junk that finds the barrel of the bat and gets smacked over the fence, but the odd time he can toss a complete game shutout. Bob is a passionate life long Detroit sports fan. Bob loves the city, and can often be found downtown taking in a sporting event or a cold beverage at a local watering hole.
@BobHeyrman30Tyler Kotila
Perfect Game National Scouting Coordinator and Graduate of Miami (OH) University. Continuing my journey through the game of baseball, trying to soak up and learn as much as possible, while helping others along the way!
@Tyler_kotilaBen Heydt
After gaining a Master's Degree in New Media Journalism, Ben spent a year interning for ECHL Week, covering the league. Hockey has been his passion ever since the first KOHO stick was placed in his palms as a child. Marrying his love for the sport and his love for writing has been a match made in heaven.

About FanSided
The idea of FanSided was born in 2007, when two brothers felt that their favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was being under-covered by the mainstream media. Taking matters into their own hands, they launched Arrowhead Addict, a move that would spawn the creation of FanSided in 2009, a network of over 300+ fan-powered unique sports, entertainment and lifestyle sites dedicated to team-specific, sport-specific, genre-specific, and fanbase-specific coverage. From sports, movies and TV to lifestyle and tech, FanSided has you covered.
