About Brian »

Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/milhaus12

I'm also managing the Bleacher Report Twitter for the Suns community: http://twitter.com/BR_PhoenixSuns
and the Giants: http://twitter.com/BR_SFGiants.

My love of sports started with basketball. At the tender age of one, my parents took me to my first Phoenix Suns game, back when they played in the Purple Palace, the Madhouse on McDowell.

My dad set me down on the seat to get a churro (did they have churros back then?), and since at the time my head constituted 48.72% of my total body mass, I promptly fell forward of the seat and cracked my head on the stadium floor.

Since then, I've been an idiot Suns fan.

Along the way, I've adopted other teams and other sports. In college I was treated to a Giants game with some friends. Fueled by beer and a garlic fry high, I waved my NL West champion towel furiously to cheer on my new team. After the game I called my girlfriend at the time and told her we won! She said, you're from Taiwan, what do you mean "we."

Harsh!

It's definitely "we" for me now, I'm a card-carrying member of the Lunatic Fringe.

Professional football's been a work in progress. I've been trying to find the right balance of new fan-dom with bandwagonerism, and have yet to settle on a team to call my own.

If you have persuasive arguments (such as cash donations) as to why I should root for your team, I'm all ears.

This article was originally published in support of Relay for Life. If you have read this before, then I apologize, but please considering donating at least $1 to Make a Wish in the memory of Josiah Herring. In light of several recent events I felt compelled to revisit cancer awareness and have not had the time for a new article. I Promise to have a new article out soon in support of the cause.

Thank you everyone!

Since I am trying to become a FC, please leave any feedback that you can, what I should do differently next time, things I can do to improve the article, etc. Thanks in advance. I appreciate the support!

You're welcome, Brian.

I wish I had time to leave thoughtful comments under every article I like, but alas, I can only do so much.

The "pick" was in lieu of that. It was great stuff--well-written and funny, too.

Not to rub salt on the wound, but that list of players the Suns have given away is pretty depressing.
