Phillip's Bio

Hello all,

Here's a little information about myself. I'm currently working as a public relations specialist in the Bay Area. I'm a graduate of San Jose State University (SJSU) with a degree in public relations. I both live and work in San Jose, California.

I've always enjoyed talking sports and have been fortunate enough to have had outlets to express my opinions having worked as an intern for the Spartan Athletic department at SJSU, and also formerly as a broadcaster at Stanford University's KZSU 90.1 FM, where I co-hosted a sports radio show for nearly a year (I also hosted an underground hip-hop show for apx. three years at the same station).

I follow many teams, as well as many sports. My interests in particular are with football, baseball, basketball and MMA. I've been a life-long devotee of the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco Giants.

I hope to produce worthwhile articles for reading enjoyment and insight by others. I'm a social creature so feel free to comment away or hit me on Facebook (www.facebook.com/phillip.brennan).

MMA fans, please check-out one of the companies I'm working with (www.fightofyourlife.com) and support your local fighters!

Whoa...

I came to fan-add you for the great comment on the Freddy Sanchez piece and almost had to stop when I read "lifelong devotee of the...DALLAS COWBOYS."

What?!?!?!

How on God's green Earth can you be devoted to the Giants AND the Cowboys? What about the Niners?

Nah, just messin'—but a weird combo nonetheless.

In any event, the shoutout to KZSU would've won be back over had I been serious.
