Joe Kleven, Sports Editor & Senior Fantasy Analyst

Talking politics, bowling, and watching “The Price Is Right” are three things Joe Kleven has loved to do since he was three years old. A problem solver and a big thinker, sometimes it takes Joe two and a half hours to fall asleep at night. When there’s something fishy going on in the world, Joe’s always ready to take a look under the hood and get the facts. And if you ever wondered why that one “The Price Is Right” contestant didn’t go for the brand new car, well gosh darnit, he’ll get the answer.
