Joseph's Bio
I'm just a mild mannered person who really appreciates sports. I'm also pretty opinionated, I just don't speak too much about it. Typically, when someone states an opinion, there's a hundred people waiting to attack. I'd rather bring unity, so I try to avoid speaking my mind too much.
Think about it, though: When did it become necessary to embarrass opponents, not just defeat them? When did it become all about the money, not about the game? Furthermore, when did sports become so important to our nation that we worship athletes? Do they really deserve all those millions of dollars when they could be used towards education or helping impoverished countries?
There are a lot of things wrong with athletics, and I would love nothing more than to see a few of them corrected. But that's neither here nor there.
On another note, I'm a pretty agreeable, laid back dude. I love hanging out with people, and when I'm not watching sports, I tend to love anything music related.
I hail from Central Mississippi, and there's hardly anything I love more than good ol' Southern culture. I also try to stay involved in making Jackson, MS a better place to live. You should visit sometime!
Hit me up by commenting on any of my articles, and I'll gladly reply. I love hearing other people's views, so please comment. If you just needlessly attack me, though, it sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? Feel free to give me constructive criticism.

The Short List facts and information about Joseph Craven
Favorite Athletes
Pistol Pete, George Gervin, Dr. J, Walter Peyton, Jerry Rice, Brett Favre, and I especially love anyone who pops out of my home state of Mississippi (i.e. Jerious Norwood)
Favorite Sports Teams
The Mississippi State Bulldogs and the New Orleans Saints, while the Cleveland Cavliers are my guilty pleasure. Don't tell anybody, but sometimes I really root for Southern Miss pretty hard.
All Time Sports Moment
1996 NCAA Tournament, when Mississippi State, led by Darryl Wilson, shut down Ray Allen and beat UConn. They ended up going to the Final Four that year.
Most Memorable Game Attended
I've been to a number of big State football upsets and huge plays, many of which will never be known by the public. Anybody recall what we State fans know as the Immaculate Interception?
Most Unbreakable Sports Record
Pistol Pete's scoring record, methinks. Non sports record? The insurmountable amount of awkward conversations I create.
Ruth or Mays?
Neither are coming back from the dead anytime soon.
Unitas or Montana?
Marino!....I mean, Montana. Whoops.
Pele or Maradona?
Pele. I honestly don't recognize the other guy.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?
SEC. Duh.
