About Colin »

I have been passionate about the world of sports ever since I learned to crawl. In the fall, I host a weekend sports radio show called the "Redskins Rally." Yes, I'm a diehard Skins fan, as hard as it is to admit that. I pitched at West Virginia University for a brief stint before a torn rotator cuff ended my baseball career. I'm a Baltimore Orioles fan, it takes a real man to admit that. March Madness is my Christmas. No other sporting event in the world can match the pure excitement that it provides. I live for the underdog. Sports are my passion, I am eager to share that passion with anyone who is willing to listen.

Thanks for the edits Colin! Regarding the thing with the Podsednik quote, it was mentioned, but where I found it, I couldn't find who said it. It was weird. Lol
