Dean's Bio

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.

What did you think of the Packers - Bears game? I went back and studied the film to come up with some surprising observations, including the key play in the game that everyone has overlooked.
