Hey all! For my first blog post, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan, however, I LOVE football more than any other sport...so any excuse to watch it, regardless of who's playing, is a good enough excuse for me :-) I played soccer most of my life, but was always jealous of boys who got to play football. In high school, I thought I could put my soccer skills to some good use and try to use it as a way onto the football field. I talked the football coach into letting me try out for a spot on the team as their new kicker. Unfortunately, I never made it onto the team.
But when it came time to look at, and apply to, college my number one criteria was whether or not the school had a good football team. My top choices came down to USC, Penn State and the University of Miami. (of course academics and the programs for my major were important, too) After a long debate, I ended up spending four amazing years at the U. I started at UM as a freshman in 2004 when our team was kicking a** as a new member of the ACC, beating Florida State and finishing the season 9-3. By the time I graduated in the spring of 2008, the team wasn't doing so hot :-(
I moved to NYC in the summer of 2008, knowing I'd be surrounded by Giants and Jets fans. Oh yeah, and a handful of Bills fans. I began working in a sports bar in the city and realized Manhattan is a melting pot for all teams' fans. While on the prowl for a job in sports writing, and eventually a career in sports broadcast journalism, I decided to start this blog. (Actually, my roommate suggested I start it because she is so sick of hearing me talk to her about football.)
