About Travis »

Journalism major...Sports I Write About: Baseball, Football, Indycar

Best Sports Moment I Have Ever Experienced In Person: 2004-After swapping tickets with a couple who did not want to sit to the left of home plate in the second row out of fear of their young son being struck by a foul ball, I saw the conclusion of a rain make-up game of a doubleheader in which Ryan Howard hit a walk off home run to win game one for the Double-A Reading Phillies. Howard followed that performance up in the second game with a homer in his first at bat.

First Brush With Greatness: The story goes that when I was 9 at my first Indycar race at Nazareth Speedway, I was nearly run over by the one and only Mario Andretti on a scooter. One of the greatest drivers to ever to get behind the wheel of any type of race car was a terror on a motorized scooter, who knew?

I now contribute to http://thesportingtruth.com/ as well as a soon to be formed blog of my own I will be starting in the near future.

Everyday Michael Vick is close to his first regular season game since the dog-fighting charges. Is it time for Vick to be forgiven?

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote The Year Too Early NFL All-Decade Team.

This is its baseball counterpart, The Half of a Year Too Early MLB All-Decade Team, and my 100th article here on Bleacher Report.

Adrian Peterson is arguably the best running back in the NFL. Even as an Eagles fan, I love to watch him play.

But the Vikings better be sure not to overwork him in the upcoming years...

First off let me say that if you haven't heard about 2 Minutes to Midnight Green, you're missing out. It's the best place on the internet for expert news and analysis on all the Philly sports.

http://www.2minutestomidnightgreen.com

Secondly, 2M2MG now has a message board up! The forum is for fans like yourself who want to have intelligent conversations, post rumors, or even submit articles for readers to view. The forum has everything on it. There's a forum for the Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, Flyers, NCAA Basketball, and NCAA Football. There's also a place for the general leagues (the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL).

Don't feel like talking football? That's fine, we have it set up so that anyone can come in and discuss politics, religion, or anything else for that matter.

Go to the site, click the Message Board button, register, and post. Could it be any easier?

Check it out!
