About Steven »

Hi my name is Steve. I enjoy hiking, long walks on the beach and classical music....oh wait. Wrong website.

Lets start again shall we?

Hi my name is Steven Smith. Like most on here, I'm a big sports fanatic. Football and Basketball are what I tend to follow the most, but I do try to check out Tennis and College Wrestling when I can.

I was born in Oakland, California so I'm a Raider fan until I die. I am also fond of the Arizona Cardinals since I have lived in Phoenix for so long.

I am a graduate of Northern Arizona University with a degree in Journalism. GO JACKS!

Yea, this is a little more bland than I thought it would be. Oh well. Happy reading everyone.
