Justin's Bio

I was born and raised in New Jersey. Since conception I have been a serious sports fan. I played baseball through college and after graduation, I spent a few years coaching at the collegiate level.

I am a rabid New York Yankees and Pittsburgh Steelers fan. Sports have always been a big part of my life and I am looking forward to sharing my points of views with everyone. I am even more excited to hear your thoughts about what I say. Can you tell that I am starved for water cooler talk?

WASHINGTON - AUGUST 01: House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) questions former top Pentagon officials during a hearing about the combat fratricide of NFL star and US Army Ranger Pat Tillman on Capitol Hill August 1, 2007 in Washington, DC. The hearing was titled 'The Tillman Fratricide: What the Leadership of the Defense Department Knew.' Tillman's family was originally told that he was killed by the enemy during combat in Afghanistan. It was later revealed that he was killed in a 'friendly-fire' accident by his fellow Rangers. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

As everyone else is, I am applying for the CBSSport job for the Steelers. I wrote an article about how I grew up a Steeler fan.
If you could, take a look and feel free to comment if you would like.

Thanks,

Polomalu and Fitgerald are on the Madden cover together. Looking back on history, this is a doubly bad thing:

Let's admit it--the position of quarterback is maybe the most fascinating position in all of sports. It's definitely the most carefully analyzed position. Here is a list of the best of the best...of the best--the 10 greatest seasons by a quarterback in the history of the NFL.

Justin,

From the 1940's Chicago Bears to the 2000's Patriots, every dynasty has its rise and fall.

Hey there, I'm pondering an article about the draft needs (first round) of all the teams in the nfl, and how they match up with the prospects, I was wondering if you could give me some insight on your team, the steelers?
