About Dan »

I grew up in the Atlanta suburbs and my passionate fire for Atlanta sports was stoked at the old Atlanta Fulton County Stadium watching the Atlanta Braves rise to power, at the Omni watching 'Nique electrify the crowd and at the Dome watching...whatever it was the Falcons were putting out there week in and week out.

I have a broadcast journalism degree from The University of Texas-Austin and I'm also super passionate about Longhorn sports. I covered the Vince Young era in school which culminated with a trip to Pasadena to cover the greatest college football game ever played. I currently work at a small internet radio station and host a weekly sports show from 8-10pm Wednesdays at www.americaswebradio.com

BREAKING NEWS! The entire WWE creative team has been diagnosed with ADHD!
It’s been a while since I have written a non-competition article, but I think I come up with a good one.
A satirical look at some on-goings of the WWE, and reasons it implies the writers have ADHD…

Hey Dan. I just wrote and published an article called "Story Of A NBA Fan Who Cannot Wait For Upcoming Season To Begin". The title seems pretty self-explanatory, but I discuss many of the questions surrounding the NBA this offseason along with many other things. If you have time, check it out and let me know what you think.

Hey Dan. I have just wrote and published an article about the Atlanta Hawks re-signing Mike Bibby and Zaza, and also what they should do about Marvin Williams and Flip Murray. I would appreciate to hear your thoughts on it.

Hey Dan,

If you get a chance, I think you might be interested in checking out my latest article. It's a preview on the Falcons, a team that I think all NFL fans should be getting to know better (although, by the looks of it, you already know them pretty well!)

Here's the link:
