About this ebook

All of the 99 stats items that appear in "99 Stats Before Kickoff" were published as part of my blog, Sports Stats 'on Tapp.' All of the items are current as of the completion of the ’12 season. Most of them are about 300-500 words in length. Not only will you get a nice review of the 2012 season, but I think you’ll take a little trip back in time for a history lesson on the NFL, and some of the stats will provide a look into the future of the league via trends, etc.

Author

Jerry Tapp

A lifelong resident of Racine, WI, Jerry Tapp graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in 1979 with a B.A. degree in Communication. He remembers his first attempt at writing as a youngster being a short story about a talking baseball. Ironically, that talking baseball story would set the stage for a lifelong love for talking about and writing about... and playing... baseball (and other sports). He spent nearly a decade as an associate editor with a national sports publication, Referee Magazine, and wrote a nationally-syndicated sports statistics column, “Stats on Tapp” for Universal Press Syndicate. As a freelance sportswriter his work has appeared in Baseball Digest, Inside Sports and the Washington Post. He was also a Scoreboard Statistician for the Milwaukee Brewers for 20 years and wrote the script for two year-end highlight videos and a drug prevention video produced by the major league team. His baseball playing days after high school included two years of junior college baseball at Indian Hills Community College in Centerville, Iowa. He then received a Division I scholarship to the University of New Mexico playing in the prestigious Western Athletic Conference. He finished his collegiate baseball career at Parkside and also enjoyed a successful semi-pro career with the Quad City Angels and the Green Bay Blue Ribbons. His career background includes work in the area of sports and recreation, non-profit management, and marketing and communications, where he held titles such as Sports Director, Development Director and Marketing Communications Specialist. His writing background is diverse: He was editor of “His Grace,” a monthly newsletter for a local church and spent several years writing a monthly column for local publication, Action Magazine, where his column focused on Christian issues. His on-the-job writing skills run the gamut of grant writing, donor solicitation letters, copywriting, speech writing and press releases. Jerry has been married to Judi, an elementary art teacher, since 1979. They have two adult children, Eric and Amy. In his spare time Jerry enjoys golf, bike riding, reading and creative writing. His goal is to turn his passion for sports statistics into a full-time career. You can reach Jerry at tappcommunications@yahoo.com.
