About Deb »

Miami Dolphins fan since the beginning of the Shula Era, originally from Long Island, New York (brother's a Jets fan, late dad a Giants fan...daughter likes Patriots, and my husband hates football!). As a result I follow all AFC East teams. Son's an Sea Aggie so I also follow Texas A & M. Live in far west Texas, but do not root for the Cowboys, never have and never will. Homeschooling mom, former high school math teacher. Can write about NFL in general and do so at FOX Sports, but am mostly qualified to write about AFC East. And, no, men, I am not on meds!

Deb,

Pick your pleasure. You can either check out my recap of the fabulous Dolphins win over the Panthers last night, or my preview of the upcoming contest between the Heat and the Raptors; or you could check them both out.

If you have the time to check either of them out, let me know what you think…lol

Haha, Thanks Deb! Glad you enjoyed my work.

However, I am not a Harvard grad. That was just sarcasm. I actually graduated from Florida Atlantic University with a Psychology degree, lol. Not the same prestige, but I guess it works. :)

Look forward to reading some more of your work in the future as well!

Cheers!

Apologies for the blast promotion, but this is less about getting my article out as it is about getting this kid's story to the masses.

He's been facing long odds since HS and continues to prove he belongs—having just been drafted by the SF Giants in the 36th round. Now, he's got another improbable climb to the Show, but he sounds like the kind of guy we should be rooting for:

Hey Deb, thanks for the note. You're right - it is sour grapes. Chad is a gamer and he definitely doesn't get enough credit. I think he does have some gas left in the tank, too. Keep up the good work!

Did the Patriots draft a sleeper? Maybe they did, but not why you think!

Hey Deb,

I just finished ANOTHER slideshow about the NFL Draft, focusing on the best draft class of each NFL team. If you get a chance, give it a read and let me know what you think, thanks!
