Jamaal's Bio

I grew up in Cincinnati, OH playing and watching all sorts of sports. I love all things dealing with Cincinnati and Ohio sports; Bengals, Bearcats, Aaron Pryor, Pete Rose, Cavaliers and the list goes on. I'm currently an engineer in Atlanta, GA (fell in love with the Hawks, but can't pull myself to root for the Braves EVER) and dream of talking about/ writing about sports as a career. Feel free to critique or argue with what I have to say. This is my first time getting into the blog thing, but judging from your posts I think it will be lost of fun. Also, look forward to a lot of typos from me =-)
