About Tim »

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.

What up everyone? I wrote an article about the changes here on B/R over the last couple of months, and about some of the things that we used to have, that we don't anymore. If you could, check it out.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/261261-dear-bleacher-report-please-bring-back-the-old-format

As I have said in the past, many times, I am not on here for AOTD votes, but I believe that if enough of you give me your AOTD vote, then maybe the higher ups will bring back some of the things that are gone.

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.

Hey Tim!
Great football this weekend eh?
Just wanted to let you know I wound up getting the FC position for the Redhawks this year. I'm excited regardless of how poorly they're doing so far.
Talk to you soon!

Check this out. The O's have had a rough month of August, with 10 wins in 29 attempts (10-19 record). But I really like what I see in this team. They've been fun to watch throughout the month, even in the bad losses they've suffered. Here, I analyze how it's gone. Give it a look. Thanks!
