Luis's Bio

Not sure what to say except that I'm writing here because I love sports and, honestly, I don't have that many people with whom I can talk sports. Getting married and having little kids will do that to you.
Also, I live in Boston but don't drink the Patriots kool aid. You add all of this up and you have a sports fan that nobody wants to talk to.

Example of a conversation with me and anonymous Pats fan.
Me: "Did you see that throw by Peyton Manning yesterday."
Pats fan: "What do you mean Tom Brady sucks?"
Me: "I didn't say...." (Then I'm rudely interrupted by a punch in the mouth.)

    LOL, but Boston fans are not that bad. Well, some us are, but most of us are not. take me for example. i would not punch you in the face. i would have elbowed you in the stomach while you were not looking.

  2. No problem, Luis. Glad to help!
