About Joe »

I'm a 24 year old sports fan who lives New Orleans, LA.

I sit in section 120, row 16, seats 8 and 9 at all the Hornets games. At the end of last year I managed to get on the jumbotron pretty regularly by being a drunken jackass and I expect that trend to continue this year.

Although for a living I flip houses and play poker, my passion is and always has been sports. I'm an avid golfer and finally broke 70 this summer.

Recently I made five birdies in only nine holes.

My favorite sports to watch are listed below in tiers.

1: Football, Basketball, Golf
2: Baseball, Tennis
3: Soccer, Hockey

To Play-
1:Golf
2:Tennis, Football, Soccer
3: Basketball, Beach Volleyball

If you play golf well, love talking sports and enjoy knocking a few cold ones back feel free to get in touch with me to play a round. I'm always looking for new golfing buddies. I'm down to a two handicap now and plan to compete in all the major amateur tournaments in 2010. If your company needs a ringer to crush the competition I am available for the low low price of beer.

I made my debut on the top NBA writers list at #21 and I plan to keep improving my writing and ranking. If you have an advice please pass it along to me.

JW Nix made a great argument for the suspension of Brady Quinn. However, after I examined it, I felt that Brady Quinn needed a defense attorney.

Since all else has failed, I see no reason for the Knicks not to sign Allen Iverson.
