 I have always been a sports fan and enjoy explaining sports stories to my sports-challenged friends (like our
webmaster), so this website was a natural fit for
me. Actually our webmaster came up with the idea for the
site and convinced me to join forces with him. I think
it is because we used to commute together and he probably
got tired of me saying that commuting with him was like
commuting with my grandmother.
Sports watching started early for me. My dad and I
spent many quality hours when I was a little man watching
the Atlanta Braves. We would take a trip once a summer
to Atlanta at a time when you could show up at the stadium a
few minutes before the game, pay 20 bucks, and get two seats
right behind home plate. It was tough being a Braves
fan in the 1980s—Sports Illustrated even dubbed Atlanta
“Losersville, USA.” I remember sitting in the stands
watching Tom Glavine as a rookie and thinking “where do the
Braves get these sorry players?” Eight years later, I
watched from the stands as Tom Glavine and the Braves won
the 1995 World Series. It is funny how sports
encapsulates so much of life—the lean times make you
appreciate the good times that much more.
I enjoy relating sports news to what is real life for most
of us. Our celebrity-obsessed culture can produce some
pretty strange behavior, so besides the regular sports news,
I enjoy emphasizing some of the bizarre things that happen
in the world of sports. I guess one day I will be the
old man in the mall that goes there to “people watch.”
I hope you enjoy this website—obviously most of us are
“sports guys,” but it is fun for us to share our passion
with folks that may be just getting interested in sports or
simply want to commute with a friend without being teased
incessantly. I would be glad to write about anything
you are interested in, so be sure to send me an email.
