About Gary »

I'm the guy who sat next to you in history class in high school that knew too much. He knew Ray Durham's batting average in 2002, the Packers' record against AFC teams from 1995-1998, and the answer to the question the teacher was asking about President Hoover.

I began my love for sports in third grade, when the morning bowl of Captain Crunch led me and my remote from Nickelodeon to ESPN. My foray into sports first began with my father's first love, the Green Bay Packers. I began my football fanhood as a die hard Packer backer, following Favre's every move. As my love grew, I branched off and found my true calling as a member of the true blue Brew Crew, but, as every fan must be, I change my "sport of focus" with the seasons.
