About

I have been a sports nut since I was a kid, like most of you. Being from Portland, Oregon, my only geographically built-in sports teams are the Portland Trail Blazers and the Oregon Ducks (who could root for the Beavers??). Other than that, I-- like every other sports fan in Oregon-- have been forced to choose a favorite NFL and MLB team, but unlike many other Oregonians, I did not choose the next geographically most logical choices (Seahawks and Mariners).

I chose the Dallas Cowboys and Oakland A's in '86 when I was eight and have never looked back.

    Hey Tim,

    People of my generation look at them fondly as the players they watched as little kids, people of other generations may just look at them as great players. I created a slide show highlighting the best players of the 1990's. If you get a chance, take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

    Hey Tim,

    There was a touching moment in the Mariners game last night, made possible by the best pitcher I've ever gotten to watch - Randy Johnson. Watching history unfold inspired to me take a look at his incredible career and count down his five best moments, in my eyes. If you get a chance, take a look at it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot.
