The Start Up



   Sports Talk Matt O will cover your national sports topics along with a main focus on the Kansas City sports scene. This blog plans to bring readers many different and exciting views on sports. I, Matt O'Dell, grew up in the small farm town of Orrick, Missouri just a half hour outside of Kansas City. Coming up as a kid I quickly became a sports fan watching the Royals and Chiefs compete. I have learned the hard way about my teams losing in professional sports. I have also seen those magical seasons that bring a city together.

   After enjoying the small town life of Missouri I moved to Orlando, Florida to earn my degree in Sports Marketing & Media at Full Sail University. I have always had a knack for talking sports to pretty much anyone interested, so I figured I had a talent and a passion I shouldn’t put to waste. What I have learned about covering sports is you really have to listen and create a feel for the game. Listen because when a veteran player or veteran announcer covers a topic, they have the knowledge of the game to know how it usually plays out. Your personal feel of the game is how you can look at a player like LeBron James or Robert Griffin III and relate to how good that player really is at his sport. I say those two things because when covering sports you should be open to all kinds of different opinions and ideas. My goals are to have fun and extend your sports knowledge while covering your Chiefs, Royals, Tigers, Jayhawks, and Wildcats. That’s that and Sports Talk Matt O says go KC.
