About Alex »

Ever since childhood, I've always had interest in sports but I couldn't play sports because I had to deal with a lot of physical problems due to Dushennes Muscular Dystrophy. Instead of playing touch football with the rest of the kids during recess, I had to just stand there and watch. Since playing wasn't an option, watching it was a good alternative. I used to wake up before my parents, go downstairs, and turn on Sportscenter. The sport dear to my heart is hockey, especially the Red Wings, in fact, I meet the 96' Red Wings through the Make a Wish foundation, I keep up with all the happenings throughout the sports world, especially the home teams.

Sorry but I'm a little cheesed about what's been said regarding the Lions first victory in two years.

Let me know if you agree or not!

Thanks!
