Allow me to introduce myself...

Ok I should probably introduce myself and how I came to the conclusion to write this blog. I am not the stereotypical female sports fan who picks winners based on team colors, mascots, uniforms or whether or not the star of the team is cute or not. I am a die hard sports fan who relies more on facts and figures to make my picks or select my fantasy players for my teams. But I am also very opinionated when it comes to sports, too. Most of my friends use me as their resident ESPN when they want to get updated on what is going on in the sports world or are curious to know my opinion about what is going on. One of my really good friends actually tells every guy that she dates that says he a huge sports fan that he may think he is but I know a girl who knows more than you. Then of course when the guy meets me he then tries to one up me. And maybe its just my competitive spirit but I then have to prove it to him when he tries to quiz me. I have met only one guy who can stand toe to toe with me who she has dated and believe me their have been quite a few who have tried. My dad used to tell me all the time as a kid you can know all the present facts but if you do not know that teams history then you really can not consider yourself a fan. I can remember my dad coming home from be away at sea since he is in the Navy and just watching old time games with him. So when I talk about Dimaggio, Roger Staubach or Lou Gehrig I do remember watching older games of them playing and older people then tell me oh that's before your 25 years on earth. Yes that may be but I love the old games before free agency where a player had loyalty for an organization and where they cared more about winning then padding their own individual stats. But I have finally got the urge to join the blogging world. I am going to try to update it once a week and this blog will be about all sports topics not just the major ones. But I am a die hard Dallas Cowboys, Texas Longhorns, and New York Yankees. But I hope you enjoy this blog and please remember it is just my opinion.
