About

"You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you'll get what you need." -The Rolling Stones

I'm a self-proclaimed sports junkie who was born and raised in sunny California and moved to Florida to go to UF. My first game at Florida Field showed me what football in the South was all about, and really just fed my unready unhealthy obsession for the game of football. I enjoy other sports (basketball, baseball, hockey - in that order), but football is definitely my No. 1.

    Hey Daniel, are you ever going to up date your "49ers biggest bust" article, or respond to the many questions about you listing Vernon Davis as an honorable mention as one of the biggest busts in light of the fact that he tied the NFL record for TD receptions for a TE this past season?
