Sherrie's Bio

My father was kind enough to teach me the nuances of sports long before it was fashionable for women to know anything about anything. I grew up with all brothers and raised all sons, and along the way was exposed to just about every sport there is out there. I even refereed a few of them for 20 years.
My remaining ambition in life is to be 80 (or older) and still be screaming at the TV, "How can you POSSIBLY miss that call/that groundball/that net, you #$%(&*!!??"
