About Matt »

Im senior in college and Im a big sports buff. My favorite time of year is football season . I live in western Pennslyvania so Im a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan. I played football from 8th grade to freshman year of college. I also watch the WWE and TNA whenever Im bored Ive kinda got tired of pro wrestling because its become very predictable. Now Freddie Prince Jr. is running the writing and made it a family friendly program again so just watching for the women sucks now. I love to voice my opinion and I will defend it to the death and Im not bias in my opinions, If I make a statement I will back them up with stats and reasonable logic.
I look foward to reading everybodys articles and providing input. Thanks to my brother for introducing me to this site. Lets Go BLACK N GOLD

Tony Dungy is expected to announce his retirement as a head coach in the NFL. He will always be seen as one of the most respected coaches of all time after everything he has been through. If you have time, I'd love to know what you think.

Nobody gave the Arizona Cardinals a chance to go this far in the playoffs (including myself). I think most of us owe them an apology. If you have time, let me know what you think!

Yeah I will def take a read at a top ten gimmick list. That would be a fun list. I have a blast doing those...but at the same time I was starting to get dubbed Mr. Top Ten and didn't want to just do one type of article. I see you are from Western PA. Thats where I live now is in downtown Pittsburgh. Looking forward to reading more.

No problem on the edits Matt. As far the Washington sports drop-off, I only wish I knew the reason why. At least the Mariners seem to be making moves for the better this offseason.

Matt,
Thanks for the kind words about the Blog. Be sure to check in every once in a while as I just started out and I'm trying to get readership up. If you think you might know people who are also interested in seeing some Big East content, feel free to point them my way as well. Also, the Blog name comes from the typical line that Rodney Dangerfield gives when he says, "I never get no respect..." I feel like the Big East is the least respected of all BCS conferences and unjustiably so. Hope you agree.

As for WVU and Bill Stewart/Rich Rodriguez, I hear what you're saying. I actually think Bill Stewart is in a pretty good place right now. It's actually easier to get to the National Championship game through the Big East and I think Rich Rod will find it difficult to navigate his way through OSU and Penn State most years. He has a lot of pressure on him, whereas Bill Stewart just needs to keep the ship steady in Morgantown. I hope he continues to represent the Big East well.

Take care.

Here you go. My whole reasoning on why the NFC North will play out the way it does.

Perhaps you should get more vocal and read other articles.

Other than that, you should check out the new one I wrote for the predictions for this week.

Here is a crazy idea, maybe you could start writing some Pittsburgh Steelers articles. I know you have a lot to say about them.
