About Jared »

Born in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Parents placed baseball before all things on God's green Earth. Mom's grew up a NY Giants fan, Pops grew up a Brooklyn Dodgers fan. When both teams betrayed their fans (thanks Omally) my parents became Yankees fans; yes I know, the Roman Empire. Better to be loved by an empire than betrayed by a bum. I root for the Yankees com hell or high water...period. I live in Colorado now, so the Rockies are my hometown team. Come to think of it, they're kinda like the old bums, always getting there and losing. Hate football! I despise it! I curse the day it was conseved! No sport comes close to the serenity and anxiety, both perpetually in sync with one another as the game of baseball.

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

Hey Jared. One of your comments on my first Top 10 Douche Bags column gave me the idea for a Sports Douche Bag Hall of Fame. I'm proud to present the first class of enshrines.

Hey Jared!
Thanks for the read and comment, man! I appreciate it. It's very seldom that I'll step out of my NASCAR writing zone and venture into the "big four sports." I look forward to writing more articles up!

Take care!
