Trying to become a featured columnist for the University of Houston Cougars football team...

Please read my article and comment on what you think of the story. Add me as a fan if you like my work and I will do the same.

A Story From A True Patriots Fan...check this one out...

This is a new one for me. It's not an NFL article. It's not an MLB article. It's not even a Top 10 list.

This is the story of one of the most incredible athletes I have ever heard about. I bought his autobiography a week ago and read the entire thing in one sitting. Check this out if you get a chance!

With the Phillies' quest to defend their world championship starting tomorrow night, I was inspired to compose the ultimate top 20 list--my 20 greatest moments as a Philadelphia sports fan.

Unfortunately, February 28, 2009 is a day I won't be forgetting for a long time. Hopefully, you never have to experience the pain of your all-time favorite athlete leaving your team...and if you have experienced it, I hope you never have to go through it again.

After what was easily the most exciting NFL season I have ever seen, almost every single NFL team has learned something new about its quarterback, whether it be finally finding their franchise quarterback, losing their starter to injury, or watching the starter lose his job. Here is the ultimate rankings--the 32 best active quarterbacks in the National Football League.

Everybody is always talking about which team has the best fans in the NFL. You see the rankings all the time. It's the ultimate goal of every group of fans. It's not just the fans of the best teams either. Eight of these 10 teams missed the playoffs in 2008.

That Hoffraber shot was incredible!

This is something I've been working on for a while. It's the best catches I could find throughout history....NFL and college combined. I included videos with the descriptions, so you can check them out if you've never seen them before.
