About

I'm Walt J., a life long sports fan who decided that he didn't want the guys on TV to speculate or tell me how I as a fan should feel. I love talking, reading and writing about sports. I also enjoy analyzing NFL statistics, although they have to be meaningful. Seriously, who cares about a quaterback's rating in road games, in the snow, on grass, in Prime Time?

    No problem! Yup, I'm lucky. I became a fan around the time that Steve Young and Jerry Rice were nearing the end of their careers haha.

    Walt, I'm not sure about those bullets. I will ask. I usually just avoid bullets and physically number small lists like that. I guess that's the best way to physically avoid it.

    Hey Walt, thanks for the continued support and I'm glad you enjoy reading my stuff! I actually had already looked over your list briefly before, and just went back and did again. I think the list is great....I would only make a couple slight changes. I would have to put Silva at #1, and Hughes before GSP. Randy is deserving, so maybe he is 4 or 3, but like many people commented, in order to WIN the title so many times, you have to LOSE the title that many times. Very good list though. Become a fan sometime!

    I like your stuff easy to be a fan then. And Melvin Guillard is T-Mac (T-Mac cant get out the 1st rd, Melvin cant get a title fight) Or Guillard is DMX cause of the pipe.
