Malone could have made this list twice. Most famous for his runs in Houston and Philadelphia, where he spent a combined eleven seasons, Malone also spent three seasons in Atlanta and two seasons each in Milwaukee and Washington. But do you remember his last year in the league, when he got on the floor in seventeen games for the San Antonio Spurs? Even more bizarre is the fact that Moses Malone was drafted by the Portland Trailbrazers, but never played a game there before being traded to the Buffalo Braves. Malone appeared in just two games for the Buffalo Braves – for a total of six minutes – before being traded to the Houston Rockets.

Ryan Tofil's experience on The Western Journal goes back to 2014 when he was an intern for the non-profit Western Center for Journalism. In 2015, he became the director of Liftable.com, and soon its sister website ThoughtfulWomen.org. These websites eventually combined and became one of the most popular lifestyle websites in the world, at one point being ranked inside the top 200 websites in America by Alexa.com. Liftable.com lives on today as a section of The Western Journal. Since 2018, Ryan has been involved with PatriotDepot.com, the exclusive provider of The Western Journal merchandise and other essential patriotic products, moving to the site full-time in early 2019.

Outside of work, Ryan loves to play chess, sports, and video games; usually while smoking a cigar. He is a proud bird-owner and aquarium aficionado, and always jokes about needing concealed carry permits for his fists, despite only having been in one fight in his life and losing quite badly. His claim to fame is having possibly been the worst NCAA baseball player in the country, riding the bench for a DIII team that went 3-31. He loved every second of it.
