Greg's Bio

Greg is a Phoenician by birth and an avid sport fan who believes one's team should be chosen based solely on geography and/or family history (or fondness of team color scheme). Greg is highly opinionated and can often toe the line of cynicism.

Greg enjoys writing in third person and is passionate about Suns basketball, NFL football, MLB Baseball, NCAA Basketball, and Manny Pacquiao's boxing career. He loathes the NBA but remains hopeful for the Suns (the plight of which, lends much credence to his disgust with the National Basketball Association).

Greg believes the DH rule to be damaging to the game of baseball, and therefore holds a great distaste for the AL. His loyalties lie to the NL, NFC and Pac-10.

Suns, Diamondbacks, Seahawks, Sun Devils, Manny 'Pac-Man' Pacquiao: End-all Be-all.

His sporting loyalties are romantic in essence, both figuratively and literally, which just as in real life, quite often leads to heartbreak.

Greg loathes the Lakers (obnoxiously annoying and uneducated door mats of society), the Spurs (fundamentally evil), the Red Sox (let's move on), the Dodgers (degenerates), the Yankees (I'm embarassed for their fans), the Cowboys (no explanation needed), the Steelers (no way this many freaking people are from a crap town like Pittsburgh), the Rams (purely a division rivalry), the Oakland Raiders (setting society back eons) and the Arizona Wildcats (give Tucson back to Mexico...and hire Lute at ASU)

Let it be noted that it is primarily the fans of these teams that are despised and not the organizations themselves.

The greater Los Angles area could swallow itself and Greg would be elated. The ocean's gargled vomit on the shore....Los Angeles.

Greg enjoys dissertating, traveling, reading, writing, attempting to play golf, watching movies, and discovering obscure music. He lives in Phoenix with a wife who's hotter than yours and his two dogs.

    I chatterbalks guarantee is worth as much as a Ryan Dempster, Cubs 2008 world series champions guarantee.

    Oh and that's total bullshit that you can't make "personal attacks" on users (comment below). We've been shit talking preeeetty much since we registered. The trick is to not make direct attacks. Just say stuff like "Anyone who thinks that the Minnesota Twins are going to win the division is a moron" and stuff like that. You didn't directly call them out, but you still insulted them. It's a win win.

    Hey Greg,

    This is Zander Freund, Bleacher Report's Content and Community Director.

    I had to edit this portion of your comment out: "The guy who first commented above - I hope he chokes on Popovich's wrinkled old peter. Even if he's right. How anyone outside of San Antonio could like the Spurs is completely beyond me."

    Insult the Spurs all you want, but it violates our Terms of Use to make personal attacks on other users. Please avoid this behavior going forward.

    I was glad to see you come and talk some sense into those idiots about the Spurs article. I had a feeling you would be one of the people on my side. I'm not a big Suns fan but since they were playing the Spurs, I was a HUUUUGE Suns fan. Hopefully CP3 makes Tony Parker look as stupid as he and duncan do when they are fully shaven next series. Thanks for the back-up.

    Greg -
    Ben likes that Greg writes in third person.

    Ben would like to thank Greg for adding him as a favorite writer.

    Writing in this tone makes Ben feel like the Incredible Hulk.
