About

Sophomore in college, I come from Oil City, Pennsylvania. Football is a big part of my life. In high school, I played in 9th grade. When I didn't start when I thought I should have, and because I didn't like the varsity coach, I decided not to play the following year. Instead I went to all of the games the Varsity and the JV teams had and cheered for our school. Or yelled when I thought the coach called a really dumb play. I always paid attention to the NFL. The Green Bay Packers have been my favorite football team since I was in the 2nd grade. Which at the point (I didn't know it) they had recently just won Super Bowl XXXI the previous year.

I didn't realize that becoming a Packers fan when I was 7 was going to turn into an obsession. Like mentioned before, since I was about 11 I have always paid attention to football. Then the Packers went 4-12. It was a wake up call to me. I started REALLY paying attention to football. So much that I knew what was going on not with just the Packers, but just about EVERY NFL football team.

I have changed my major to Journalism. It used to be Secondary Ed. Math. However this site has made me realize how much of a Sports Journalist I really want to be.

    As part of the CBS application, we were all asked to submit a number of questions that we'd ask a player from our favorite team if we ever had the opportunity to interview him, I chose Santonio Holmes, let me know what you think.
