The name is Patrick Lacey,

I've been a sports fan since before I knew what sports were. I swear I came out of the womb, baseball in hand. Played baseball, football, basketball, and ran cross country at the varsity level in high school. Injuries and a lack of motivation led me to give up the dream after trying to walk onto a Jr. College baseball team. My original plans were to have some sort of career with sports, anything really, my love for all things sports could not be denied. However... the fun side of college got the better of me, and I eventually realized that sports journalism was not for me, how could I spend the rest of my life writing about people doing something I believed I was still capable of doing? It just didn't feel right, so I did what any good American would do, I joined the US Army. I'm currently an IT Specialist and although my career will now be related to computers, I decided to pick up writing again as a hobby. Hopefully all of the wonderful members of the bleacherreport community will appreciate my work, and although I am sometimes very opinionated, I usually do a good job of keeping things in perspective without much bias.

Please feel free to leave feedback on my articles, positive or negative. I'm never one to turn down a good sports related discussion, or a debate for that matter.
