About GREG
A self-proclaimed rule follower, Greg has always been fascinated with rules in sports, especially at the professional level. Why they exist, how often they are enforced and what is the history behind the more obscure rules. It all fell into place in 2021 when, while watching an NFL game, Greg screamed at the TV because of an apparent bad call by the referee. Then suddenly, the light bulb lit up and That’s a Dumb Rule? was created.
Aside from researching rules in sports, Greg enjoys biking, listening to and playing music, spending time with family, and being a grandpa to two amazing grandkids.
