About Nick »

Hey everyone. Nice to see you on my page.

I am obviously a huge sports fan and just as big a fan of writing about sports. I like to consider myself a sports encyclopedia, and here are some other things I believe:

- I know Jordan pushed off Russell, but then again, it was Jordan
- MLB players who test positive for performance-enhancing drugs should be suspended one full season for their first offense
- I prefer GoodFellas over The Godfather
- Curling is not a sport
- Tony Romo will never get to the Super Bowl, let alone win it
- Led Zeppelin is the greatest rock band of all time
- Barry Sanders is the best running back in NFL history
