About Kyle »

Ok...what can I say...My name is Kyle... and I am a sports addict. I love college football...especially Penn State. On my wall is the promo poster from the 1979 Sugar Bowl when Penn State played Alabama for the national title and flanked by it is my PSU Jack Ham, LaVar Arrington, and Paul Poslusny jerseys. I love the NFL especially the Steelers, since I live a hop, skip, and a jump from Heinz Field. I love the Pirates and their rich history. I fell in love with the Celtics because in my formative years ESPN played classic NBA Finals films and I got to watch Larry Bird, Robert Parrish, Kevin McHale kick ass.

Other than sports, I love music. I own over 700 records and 700 CDs. Some of my hard to get stuff is Frank Zappa's "200 Motels," Elvis Presley's first album, and Roxy Music's "Country Life." You can occasionally catch me playing with my band or attempting to do stand-up.

Pele or Maradona?

The Intimidator, The King may have won 200 but #3 was the Johnny Cash of the racetrack
