About

I am 21 a junior at West Virginia University. I'm studying journalism with a focus on news-editorial at WVU and actually work at the campus newspaper as an editor. I'm primarily a hard news and crime reporter, but I have a newly found passion for English soccer/football and have always been a fan of Philadelphia sports.

I'm already a season ticket holder for Philly's MLS team.

I'll follow Newcastle United and the Philadelphia Phillies to the end and to a lesser extent, the Mountaineers.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Obafemi Martins, Lenny Dykstra, Curt Schilling, Jeremy Roenick, Dikembe Mutombo, Habib Beye

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    Last year's wild card race. Mets suck.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    A Phillies game several years ago. J.D. Drew had recently snubbed us and signed for the Cardinals. That night my Dad and I went to Veterans Stadium to watch the Phillies play the Cardinals. It was Drew's first night in Philly since then and he tried to disguise himself during warmups as the catcher. People caught on and started throwing batteries at him.

    Hi Jon. I thought I'd have a go at writing something for Newcastle fans.
    What better time than when the legendary Alan Shearer gets appointed as manager.

    Alan Shearer takes the reigns at Newcastle United, but I think he needs a bit more than 7 weeks. Sing this parody and comment on what you think fate has in store:

    Thanks again,

    Weird Dave.
