About Dean »

Canadian born. Football scholarship was the only way I could have attended college. Freshman special teamer to LB starter in college. 3 unsuccessful seasons trying to play pro football, unspectacular career as boxer.
Employed in the oil industry for nearly 30 years, working all over the world since 1980. A diehard Packer fan since college. Supporter of USC (weird being from the midwest) at the college level, and a Flames fan in the NHL.
Never followed B Ball, and have given up on boxing.

Now living overseas, paying for NFL and College games on TV to keep in touch with my n American passion.

Avid Fantasy Football player.

    Isn't this just about the exact article I pubished on Tuesday? Less the Mnnesota arrogance and with a lot more detail in mine as to how the remaining matchups affect the outcome ?

    Please don't leave another comment on my board like that...who assumes that I even know you or what you write out of 20,000 writers? I can look at others articles and find parallels..I can't believe how ignorant of a comment that was lol.
