Why are you a fan??

Do you have a favorite sports team. Why are they your favorite team and why that sport. are you a fan because of your childhood or because an athlete that you looked up to played on that team. my Favorite team is the browns. i feel like i have become a bigger fan of the Browns since i moved to Raleigh since i don't get the opportunity to watch them as often and i feel like i took my fan hood for granted. i also used to be a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but that was just because my favorite player played on that team Mike Alstott who was the same number as i was. As i get older i feel like i become more of a sports fan and not just football but all sports i find myself watching all kinds of sports? maybe this is gearing me up for fatherhood? who knows. Do you have story about your fan hood and why it is your favorite team or athlete.

Whats good in your life??

Some of you may know that i drive allot for my job. this requires a little bit of getting up early. but when i get up early i get the opportunity to listen to a sports talk radio show show by the name of The David Stein Show. he is a very wise man in my opinion but he doesn't talk about the sports score or the outcomes of games. David stein talks about Whats good in your life and a celebration of life through sports. well every time i listen to it it makes me think what is good in my life? i have the woman of my dreams at such a young age that's a good thing. we just bought a house together. and we are gonna celebrate 2 wonderful years of marriage together this October. Have you ever celebrated life through sports? like take your son to his first State football game or throw the winning touchdown pass to win state. i have celebrated my life through sports with a bunch of guys whom i called brothers for 6 years those truly were the best years of my life at that point in my journey. in the future i am going to celebrate life through sports with the family we have down in North Carolina.

Why do they have asterisks * in sports???

Why in the world do they have asterisks in sports. I mean what does the * mean anyway? What the does the public opinion view and what does it say about the record or the milestones that was reached. Correct me if im wrong but doesnt Mr. Roger Maris have an asterisk after his 61st homerun?? why because he had a couple extra games to do it.the game evolves and so does the players do you think roger maris could hit 61 homeruns against eeerrrrrr roger clemens in his prime and in 162 games?? I dont believe that he could. I agree that Barry Bonds should only get an * But only until he is proven innocent. What about the other sports situations that get asterisks but dont deserve them. Houston Rockets: 1994 and 1995 NBA Champions. The point is that Michael Jordan wasn't around in '94, and that he wasn't "all the way back" in '95. So if he wasn't "retired," but just hurt, would you still put the asterisk on it? The Rockets were a very good team in '94, and with the addition of Clyde Drexler, they were a great team in '95, sweeping the Shaq-Penny Orlando Magic. Do the '94 Knicks and '95 Magic get asterisks for beating the Bulls, as both had to in the Playoffs? They shouldn't, and neither should the Rockets. take the new england patriots for example imagine if they never got caught with spygate. than there would be no * but because someone got caught they now have an asterisk on their perfect REGULAR season. but what about the people that are really achieving these milestones clean errrrrr i mean legit. the asterisk i believe will always over shadow the clean anyday of the week.
