Bios

Jason Butt began a career in sports writing in college at The Red & Black, the independent student newspaper that serves the University of Georgia. His first beat was women's tennis, his last was football. After failing to graduate on schedule, Butt became the sports editor at The Red & Black.

After finally graduating, Butt took a contractual job covering the Atlanta Falcons for CBSSports.com's RapidReports for the 2009 season. Butt was the youngest reporter selected by CBSSports.com to be a part of its RapidReports team.

Butt plans to work with CBSSports.com in 2010 and also freelances stories for the Athens Banner-Herald. He also has a full-time job with the Atlanta Jewish Times, covering anything from middle school basketball to local business affairs.

Butt resides in Athens, Ga. with a plan to move to Atlanta soon.



A community college drop-out and self proclaimed sports genius, Aaron Byelick claims everything he knows about sports comes from ESPN.com and EA Sports video games.

He currently resides in the post-Katrina ninth ward of New Orleans and is on the waiting list of Tulane University. No one can really understand how he got in.

Fortunately for Butt-ingIn.com, Byelick always lets his bias show and is not afraid to express his opinion. An avid Gonzaga fan, you will always be able to tell if he is writing something on college basketball.

Other interesting facts: Undefeated in NBA Jam on Super Nintendo, picked the national champion out in the first round if the NCAA tournament (Syracuse and UConn) two years in a row, drafted a kicker in the second round of a fantasy football league (Mike Vanderjagt, 2004), and once drank a gallon of milk in an hour without throwing up.
