Jel Kiper - Jel came to us a few months after the launch of the site in hopes of finding a home where he could get his word out to the viewing public. Jel Kiper, the long lost brother of NFL Draft Guru and ESPN regular Mel Kiper, has much more to offer the NFL fan then a crazy haircut and a distorted view on the NFL draft. Jel is a ladies man, he is a handsome fellow, smooth talker, and a TRUE NFL draft expert. Jel is a lifelong Eagles fan and although his NFL knowledge extends across the league, his primary focus is on the Eagles.

  • Have a fantasy question?
    Jel also dominates in the fantasy world. He has won low stakes, high stakes, keeper, and IDP leagues and was an astonishing 4 for 4 last year winning every league he entered. Want to lose your fantasy league? Ask Jel to enter it and you are sure to top out at 2nd place.

William J Doyle -  Not a lot is known about William, some say he’s more myth than man.  His name is used as an alias for criminals, degenerates, and people signing up for free karate lessons.  He sometimes goes by Billy, Bill, or the Doy. 

We’re not really sure where he posts from or how, because he is a known illiterate.  Some say he is the real life inspiration for Keyser Soze from The Usual Suspects.  Others say he is the real life inspiration for Charlie Conway from the Mighty Ducks.  It’s hard to say which is true.  We allow him to keep posting though, because he may very well be mentally disabled and we can write it off as charity on our taxes.

Haha, this was actually on Wikipedia:

The 215 was one of the original area codes established in 1947.

This area code, along with nearby area code 610, is being used as a symbol of hometown pride of many young people who dwell within it - for example, a Philadelphian student at Penn State might say he’s “repping the 215″ at his school.

    Dear “215 Sports”:

    My name is Brendan Kirsch and first of all, I wanted to tell you that I love the blog. Secondly, I wanted to ask you if you were aware of the sport “Slamball”? You may have seen the first two seasons on Spike TV in 2002 and 2003. It’s a hybrid of several sports, taking the most exciting elements and melding them to produce one of the most electrifying visual experiences in recent sports history. To help you get a quick picture you could say that is looks like full contact basketball played on trampolines. The promo video attached will allow you to see exactly what results within this framework.

    I am the head coach of one of the franchises, the Mob, and wanted to tell you that we’ve just partnered with International Management Group (IMG) to launch a new season and a league. Considering your content and readership I think that Slamball would be an excellent addition as new and exciting material to your site. Currently Pat Croce has accepted the position as the commissioner of the new league. He is a fantastic personality and draws peoples’ interest. Perhaps you’d like to do an article on the sport. I could certainly get you an interview with a number of people invloved, including Croce, the sports creator Mason Gordon, the head of Player Personnel Rob Wilson and I, obviously, would also make myself available.

    We are currently setting up our open national tryouts on the following dates. (April 6th in Los Angeles; April 9th in New York City; and April 11th in Bradenton, Florida) After the tryouts the top players will be invited to a 2 week final tryout camp at the IMG complex in Bradenton, Florida. From there, we will host a draft and begin training camp, with a season to be played in June. I have attached both the promo video (which explains it all), and the official press release that hit the AP.

    Our website, http://www.slamball.net will be a resource to you as well, and will be open for all player applications starting this monday, april 3rd.

    You can reach me back at slamballinfo@gmail.com (attn: brendan kirsch in the subject line) or on my cell phone at (213) 604-7369.

    Sincerely,
    Brendan Kirsch
    Head Coach – Mob
