About Bill »

My wife often wonders how I can watch SportsCenter or ESPN News all day long. My answer to her is "I love sports". I will watch any sports on TV. I remember watching ping pong during the Beijing Olympics at 2 am.

Anyway, born and raised in Philadelphia, I will only cheer for the Eagles, Phillies and Sixers. I also graduated from Penn State so GO LIONS. For the past 2 years, I am totally addicted to MMA and TUF. I will now attempt to write some good articles.

Hey Bill,

I'm the new Community leader for the Regional MMA section along with Jaime Moreno...and we're looking for people to join our section. I understand that you might not be interested in writing for our section, or posting information about our section (even though we'd love to see that happen), but we would love absolutely any input, or information about local events happening where you live, so that we can get the proper coverage for them, and their organizations. This way, MMA continues to grow even in the boondock areas! We hope you join, and let me know if you have any questions or ideas. Thanks!

-Nick
