About david »

I am a student at UNCG, majoring in marketing. I hate english and I hate writing papers, but I love sports so that's why I'm here.

I am a NC State fan. I was born into it, and have been a fan since I was a little kid.

Carolina Panthers are my NFL team. I have lived in North Carolina my whole life, and have followed them since they were an expansion team.

My favorite MLB team is the Boston Red Sox. My great grandfather and grandfather used to listen to Ted Williams and the BoSox on the radio, back in the day. My grandfather that got me into becoming a fan of the Red Sox.

I used to be a big Hornets fan, but since they moved to New Orleans I eventually forgot about them. I became a Bobcats fan shortly after, but if they draft another UNC player in this years draft I may reconsider my fanhood to them. I also like the Portland Trailblazers and Chicago Bulls, because they have to young up and coming stars (Derrick Rose and Brandon Roy). Plus, they are both coached by NC State alum (Nate McMillian and Vinny Del Negro).

Welcome to Bleacher Report! It's great to see another writer for the Panthers community. I hope you find your time here to be very enjoyable.

I added myself as a fan, and please feel free to let me know when you have any new posts on the Panthers.

Judging by your fans, it seems that our very own Zander Freund took a great liking to you, as he's become your fan three times!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or our other two great Panthers Community Leaders, Matt Gilmartin and Austin Penny.

Just be-fand you, and I would like to welcome toy to Bleacher Report.
If you could give in-put to any of my Panthers articles, that would be great (I'm trying to work my way into positions as both the No. 1 writer in the Panthers and Braves communities).
If you want me to look at any of your articles, feel free to ask, as I like your first two.
Happy writing.
