About

I am a married male living in Maryland, near Washington D.C. I

I have two sons, 9 and 6, who adore football (playing and watching) as well. I grew between Pittsburgh and D.C. and grew up watching the Steelers of the 70s. I love seeing the Steelers play in person, and spending time in the City of Pittsburgh. Fortunately, I've been able to see the Steelers play in Pittsburgh many times, as well as in Cincinnati, Arizona, Baltimore, Tennessee, and Philadelphia. I've also witnessed the Steelers play in person in a Super Bowl.

I believe football is the ultimate sport. I am fanatical about it. I do get passionate during College Football season as well, regardless of being very anti-BCS. I also enjoy College Basketball, but primarily the tournament.

As a child I loved baseball. I grew up watching baseball on Saturdays, 1st to last pitch. The nature of the game has changed so much that I'm no longer much of a fan, unfortunately. Tremendous spending favors the wealthy....steroids...it's all just turned me away. That is until the post season when I can root for all the small market teams to beat the large payroll teams :)

The best for me though is, as a parent, watching my boys score or excel or just enjoy themselves playing sports. My favorite highlights are theirs captured on my home video camera.

    Hey Tim,

    I think you would enjoy this. I did a little parody of Dexter's Roethlisberger articles. I used some of the info from your comments. I hope you are OK with that.

Please help...not sure how you can respond on this thing, so an e-mail to gkreitze@gmail.com would be great. Thanks a lot

    Hey Tim,

    Got a new article out today. It involves both the AFC and the Ravens. Today, I am making a case for why the AFC North will be the best division in 2010. Feel free to give any feedback on my thoughts.

    Hey Tim, thanks for the article, how'd you know I would be interested? I don't want to sound racist because I certainly am not, but the NFL is full of thugs, and nothing surprises me anymore. Thanks for the article.

    Hey Tim,

    More news from the NFL Draft. This time it's safety Eric Berry saying he should be the number one pick in this years draft. And quite frankly, I can't disagree with the statement. Appreciate any feedback!
