About Marlon »

I live in Southern California. I am a die hard basketball, baseball and soccer fan. In the NBA, I root for the Rockets because of how much I like Tracy McGrady. In the MLB, I am a huge Angels fan and I also root for the Dodgers in the National League. In soccer, I root for Chelsea and Brazil.

I have to become your fan...you made me laugh so much considering that it's a Friday. I have to take a dig at your love for McGrady...will he ever stay healthy? On the other hand what he had to endure against Utah in the playoffs a couple of years ago with out Yao showed me how much of a warrior he is...sorry just poking some fun at you. Ive commented on your comments the next move is yours sir.

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.
