Jon Bois has been a name that some of you may not be familiar with, but should.

As an SB Nation contributor, he’s provided some colorful, insightful, and downright bizarre pieces regarding the intersection of sports and culture. Recently, he teamed up with the internet’s infamous Felix Biederman in a wide-ranging and mesmerizing documentary titled Fighting in the Age of Loneliness.
