Tom's Bio

Tom, sophomore at Penn State from Central New Jersey. I'm a probable public relations/business major with an interest in various sports. While I'm mainly a fan of the New York Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, and Penn State Nittany Lions, I'm here to offer my insight and opinions on the MLB, NFL, NCAA, and New Jersey High School Wrestling.

While my main interest is watching sports, I like to consider myself a stellar fantasy performer in both baseball and football and will watch anything from mini-camp to spring training to get an edge.

"I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I heard that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball, and it's never boring"
