Growing up in a suburb of San Francisco during the ‘80s, it wasn’t hard falling head over heals for the local sports teams. The Bay Area squads were at their pinnacle and it seemed like the products they were putting on the field were immaculate. And at times they were.

Having parents that were not die-hard sports fans didn’t really help my progress in learning the ins and outs of sports, but it didn’t hurt that my next-door neighbor was Fred Quillan, the center for the San Francisco 49ers at the time. Seeing him leave for games and practices was surreal, almost like watching a warrior right before he heads off to battle. It made me want to learn everything sports related. And the sport really didn’t matter, Football, Baseball, Tennis, whatever.

I have followed the 49ers an...

I've worked as a sportswriter at two daily newspapers, written text for baseball, basketball and football cards backs for Fleer and have interned at the home of hockey maven Stan Fischler. I've also served as a managing editor at a daily newspaper, entertainment publication and most recently, Wizard Entertainment, where I helped oversee the daily operations of four national pop culture mags, four national conventions and two websites.

But my first love has always been sports dating back to when my parents took me to see Lew Alcindor (yes, it was the pre-Kareem days) and the Bucks play Walt Frazier and the Knicks.

I'm a lifelong New Yorker, except for that one year I spent in Chicago, which was the longest year of my life when Charles Smith couldn't dunk the ball when we had Jorda...

My dream job would be GM of the Seattle SuperSonics. Now my dream is dead. So I will have to get Mark Cuban money, buy a team ( I don't care who) and move them back. Then I could be the Jerry Jones of the NBA. If I can't be the Sonics GM, then how about the Seahawks GM?

Thanks to Bleacher Report I have been lucky enough to have NBA, NFL, Draft and Fantasy articles appear on or linked from FOXSports.com, CBSSports.com, USAToday.com, TNT.tv (NBA on TNT Page), LA Times Fabulous Forum, NYDailyNews.com, MSG.com, Canada.com, AskMen.com, and a handful of blogs and websites.

I have appeared on The 2 Live Stews radio show, Patrick Mauro's radio show Sports Overnight America, and I was mentioned on Sportscenter's Blog Buzz.

It has been such a joy reporting on the BCS this season. I have pointed out dozens of flaws but the BCS honks will really take notice if Texas loses and TCU plays the Alabma/Florida winner in the title game.

College football is a national sport and I have a favorite team in every conference.

SEC - Georgia

Big XII - Texas

Big Ten - Ohio State

Pac-10 - Arizona

Big East - West Virginia

Mountain West - TCU

ACC - Florida State

WAC - San Jose State

Writer bio

I'm an avid fan of College Football and the NFL. I also enjoy some Basketball and Nascar (but hate the Chase).

I love to travel, go to the beach, and go places I've never been. Traveling is a great way to find the world, find out how other people are and their cultures, and a great way to find yourself.

Writer bio

I generally love all sports, but have a passion for the pageantry and traditions of college football. Moving from Pac 10 country to Big 12 country 2 years ago has really given me a broader base of knowledge and a better appreciation of how the game really impacts communities, culture and lifestyles. Played a bit of college basketball and am also a fan of the NFL and NBA. Published my own college football blog for 3 years in Phoenix, AZ, mainly focusing on the BCS and the Fiesta Bowl.
