BeachBum's Bio

Typical sports and beer geek with a B.S. in Communications and 6 years of sports broadcasting and newspaper writing experience. I grew up in Houston as an avid Oilers, Astros and Rockets fan. I stayed true to the Oilers and became a Titans fan when they changed cities. Collegiately, I bleed burnt orange. Hook Em!

I live in Los Angeles now and work in the wine industry and teach beer tasting and food pairing classes (I teach private parties in the LA area). I am also currently studying for my beer expert certification.

  1. My latest NFL Draft Player Profile : Brian Orakpo - The freak known as "Rak"

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/131229-nfl-draft-2009-player-profile-brian-orakpo-the-freak-known-as-rak

  2. No problem Chris. Like I said, I'm still undecided about what to think after Monday's game. Suffice to say, Texas vs. Ohio State has never been boring, and they've played some amazing games the past few years, despite having never played each other before 2005.

    As for the Reds new park...I never thought I'd say this, but I kinda miss Riverfront, at least for the dimensions. GABP is a home run hitter's wet dream, which probably explains why the Reds' pitching has been awful since moving there save for last year.

    What part of Northern Kentucky were you in? I've got family in Cold Springs/Fort Thomas just across the river from Cincinnati.

  3. I realized the BCS is better than a play-off, and decided it needed to be defended. I'd love your input.

    I'd appreciate it if you had the chance.
