I just finished my third year of college studying to be a sports journalist. I have a passion for sports that words can't describe. I am hoping that a journalism degree from the University of Montana will provide me with the best opportunity to find and use the words to make that possible. I have been a New York Giants fan since birth and an Anaheim Ducks fan since I was three. The San Francisco Giants and New York Knicks came to me as sports became more and more important in life.
I lived in San Jose, California until I was 18 years old. Unfortunately for me, the Bay Area was considered "sharks territory". Needless to say they enjoyed giving me crap for being a ducks fan. That is when I really started to take my sports seriously and found my true passion for the game.
I quickly realized what being a fan was all about. A fan is someone who defends their team against anyone, anywhere, and anytime. A fan is someone who stays loyal to their team and never lets doubt cloud their judgement. Defending my teams brings me great joy. There is nothing better than having a few cold ones with your boys just kicking back and watching a game.
Obviously the life of a fan is not always paradise, but there is no better feeling then when your team wins the big game. You almost feel like you have the right to celebrate with the stars. Almost like you had something to do with their victory. That's a feeling that no one can ever take away from you. That's the beauty of sports ladies and gentleman.
I started this blog to have an opportunity to speak my mind and let others reflect on it. Some of you may not like or agree with what I have to say, but I can't worry about that. I am going to say what I feel. If you like it, great. If you don't, thats ok too. Feel free to speak up whether you agree or not. I will be the first to admit I am not always right, just most of the time.
