John's Bio

I'm 23 years old, and I live in a small town north of Pittsburgh. Of course I'm a homer, which is hard because the Pirates are oh so godawful. But I still love em. I like all sports, except tennis and golf, but Sportscenter makes them entertaining enough. I love hockey...it's in my blood. I play it, I watch it, I coach it, I read and write about it. Yeah, I love the Penguins, but I can recite to you the last 25 Stanley Cup Final losers, and who they beat in the Conference Finals. Football's a biggie too...some of the most exciting things I remember about football are the Super Bowls that the Steelers weren't involved in. Or the playoff games they lost, like when Tennesee played them a few years back in the Divisional Round and missed a field goal, only to get a second chance because Dewayne Washington bumped the kicker....ahhh...idiot. Haha. Anywho, that's me.

Here's the order sports SHOULD be seen in, by the way.

NHL
NFL
MLB
NBA

Any questions, just ask. I'll be glad to tell you why the NBA is a stupid sport, with a bunch of athletes and their guarenteed contracts running around dunking and not playing defense. Oh, I could go on forever.
