Garrett's Bio

My names Garrett Derr. I live in Millersburg Pennsylvania..about half hour from Harrisburg. I have two brothers and two sisters. One of my brothers is my identical twin- No I'm not kidding....I'm about to start my Sophomore year at Susquehanna University and I'm majoring in Business Adminstration with a minor in Finance. I'm playing football for Susquehanna in the fall. I'm a die hard Philadelphia Eagles fan and I usually attend a few games a year. Still waiting on that first Super bowl but it will come soon enough. I love Penn State, I almost went there actually. My favorite athletes are Brian Dawkins and Paul Posluszny. Gotta love the 2008 World Series Champs- Philadelphia Phillies. I'm also a Temple Owls fan. Anything else, just hit me up at derrg@susqu.edu

If you get the chance check out the Outdoors Section on B/R--Up and coming!!

My "Dear Philadelphia Eagles, Please Sign..." article was published on ESPN.com

What did you think of the Packers - Bears game? I went back and studied the film to come up with some surprising observations, including the key play in the game that everyone has overlooked.

Hey there!
Today, I go back in time ten years ago in which the All Star Game was celebrated at Fenway Park in Boston. Arguably the most emotional All Star Game of all time as we celebrated a legend in Ted Williams who would not be with us much longer. But throughout the game, Williams' farewell had truly inspired the AL to win this game. Take a look back as I run down this historic game

Hey,

First there was a Jay Cutler saga, now there's a Brandon Marshall saga. I believe Marshall will be traded. I don't think he'll be traded to the Ravens, Bucs, Rams, or Bears, in which many people have believed one of those teams would be the one to pursue him. But there is a dark horse in all of this to get him, but I am not going to tell you. You'll just need to find out yourself:

Comments would be greatly accepted.

Thanks,
