About

I'm 32 years old, live in Columbus, Ohio and work for the Ohio State University Medical Center. I became a huge Buckeye football fan when I followed them during the 2002 season and haven't left. As far as professional sports are concerned, I have no loyalty to any team. My loyalty lies with the sport. If an organization is bad, I don't waste my time. I love football most of all. I never put on a helmet and pads, but I'm great at observing and analyzing. I think I have great insight to my favorite teams, but probably am the only one who thinks so.

    No cause for alarm regarding Mack, esp. since he has to go up against Rogers all the time. Rogers is just so dominating, Mack will suffer in practices, but in the long run I can only see this improving Mack for the future.

    I am 90% sure that Mack will start for the Browns this year so no worries.
