About David »

I grew up in central Illinois--right smack in the middle of Big Ten country. I've worked in the sports department for several Illinois newspapers, but I recently relocated to Lincoln, Neb. (aka home to the MOST OBSESSED college football fans EVER!).

I love to watch pretty much any sport, especially (college and pro) football and college basketball.

Hey David, thanks for the edits, but just to let you know, my tagline is "come to think of it" - all my articles start with that in the headline. It's just my thang, I guess. I changed it back, no worries.

David-

Thanks for the edits, but I have a question for you. Yes, my article was mostly about Garnett, but don't you think Bulls fans, as the Celtics' first round opponents, would be interested in that news as well? As a Chicago Bulls fan, the news about KG was likely just as interesting to me as it was to a Celtics fan, as it has a huge impact on our chances in this series.

In any case, that's why I tagged the article for the Bulls.

Thanks for the edit, David, but I felt I needed to revert back to the original version. I just felt your edits took too much away from the humorous tone I intended. All the same, thanks for looking it over.
