Jay Kaplan

Hi, I'm Jay Kaplan. I am the Head Writer, Lead Analyst, Segment Producer and Post-Production Video Editor for "On The Sportslines". OTSL is a TV show focusing on the New York-Area and National Sports scenes. The show is shot in Manhattan, aired live and then uploaded to the web. I have been working for the show since 2002. The show also has a blog that I am the Administrator and Editor for as well as one of it's regular contributors. Those contributions will now be available here on Yahoo. I have been a sports fan since I was five. My earliest memory of any kind is sitting between my Uncle and Cousin on the couch at their house watching the Mets play the A's in the 1973 World Series. Whatever the season, there's a sport I'm watching on TV, going to see live, writing about or discussing on the show or the blog. I root for all New York teams (hey, I was born and raised here), but my favorites are the Yankees, Steelers, Sixers, Rangers, St. John's (Class of '92) & North Carolina basketball, USC & Michigan football. There's nothing I love more than combining my love of sports with my love of writing. Turning a phrase, especially a sports one is one of my favorite things to do.
