Joe's Bio

Little biography:

My name is Joe and I'm 17 years old from South Jersey. What makes me a Colts fan in south NJ you ask? Well I was a little sports nut back in my real young childhood. One day I was watching ESPN and saw a College Football game between Tennessee and I believe, Vanderbilt on. Peyton Manning was in his junior season and threw an awesome pass to Marcus Nash. So the fanhood started until he graduated and was drafted by those Colts.

Fan of all sports (NFL, MLB, NCAA FB, NHL, NASCAR and FIFA) though my NBA fanhood is low. Hopefully Elton Brand can change that. Love sports in general and competing in them too.

Nice article on "soccer"....had a huge laugh at the part where you mentioned that you thought Manchester United had changed their name to Manchester City! That would get you killed in some places!haha!

Again great article. Oh and as a Manchester United supporter we have the pleasure of being able to jeer most Sunderland fans as they buy all our reject players!! So watch out for that one! And as you might know our greatest captain ever is now manager of the Mackems. Roy Keane. So Manchester United now have strong links with Sunderland especially if you support United and like me, are also from Ireland.
