About E Paul »

I'm retired in Scottsdale, AZ, after a thirty year career in the Life Insurance-Pension business (www.theliangroup.com). Additional info can be found on my Facebook page. I've had a nice, full life...about ready to start looking for the next challenge and /or adventure. I'm still an avid sports fan, my interests are College Football, College Basketball, PGA Tour, NFL Football and Major League Baseball. My idea of a good time includes travelling to out of town sporting events such as the Rose Bowl, the Indy 500, Fenway Park, Camden Yards, maybe Augusta for the Masters. Where does it say we eventually have to grow up?!

Hey E Paul,

I just wrote a new article/slideshow on the 2008 draft class of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Many have said it is the worst class in recent memory after those same experts called it the best draft of 2008. Are they busts or late bloomers? Check out the article and see what you think.

Hey Mate !!!

Nice to make your acquaintance !!!

I totally agree with your assertion about growing up ... something has always told me that the day you think you have "grown up" or "arrived" you begin to die !!!

Sports and sporting events are a wonderful celebration of the best things in life ... especially when they are done purely !!!

Hey USC fans - were the Packers right to trade up for Clay Matthews III? I'd like to hear your thoughts...
