About

Unabashed and unapologetic fan of the Boston Red Sox, the Boston Celtics and UConn athletics.

I was born a Washington Redskins fan, but Daniel Snyder has driven me into a bigamous relationship with the New England Patriots.

First love was baseball and watching Yaz and crew at Fenway. Deepest love is basketball...real basketball...sharing the ball and looking for the open shot basketball. Larry Bird's Celtics type of basketball.

I like to watch soccer. Yes, soccer. Besides the U.S. national team, I follow the New England Revolution of MLS.

I try to be as objective as possible in my writing, but everyone has biases. Mine tend to show a bit, especially when writing about the Sox, Celts, and Huskies.

Outside of a bunch of personal stuff that readers wouldn't be terribly interested in, that is me in a nutshell.

    Still haven't read any of your articles... but I have checked out several comments you left on other articles. Did you ever notice that the vast majority of your comments are neagtive towards the writer? I'm just saying... It's pretty obvious that you have a superiority complex.
