Welcome!

With this being my first post, its probably best that I explain what this blog is going to be all about and why I am doing this.  As I have become more and more addicted to Twitter, and talking about sports on Twitter, it became clear to me that I needed more than the 140 characters that Twitter gives you.  So as you can probably already tell, this blog will be pretty much all about sports (both real life and fantasy sports), with the occasional mention of new movies, TV shows, political talk, and my own personnal life stories.  I am going to try to make several posts every week, and depending on what is going on in the sports world, you may see posts every day.  I am also starting this blog in what I consider the best time of the sports year.  Spring training has begun in baseball, hockey and basketball are starting to look forward to the post-season, March Madness is beginning in NCAA basketball, the NFL draft is right around the corner, and the softball bar leagues are on the horizon locally.  I'm going to have plenty to talk about.  What better time than now?

Most of my posts will be around the teams and players I like the most.  I have two favorite teams in sports.  The Oakland A's in baseball and Buffalo Sabres in hockey.  I also consider the Buffalo Bills my favorite football team, but in reality, my favorite football team is whoever is on my fantasy team for that season.  If I were to pick a sport that I favor the most, its baseball, with football and hockey right behind.

It is odd being an Oakland A's fan living in Buffalo, NY, I admit, however as a kid I fell in love with the home run power of Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco.  I also tried to be like Dennis Eckersley when I was a kid every time I toed the rubber in little league and Mike Bordick every time I played shortstop.  In other sports, Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Grant Hill, and Wayne Gretzky were other athletes that I was huge fans of growing up.

I hope everyone enjoys this blog and I look forward to the comments that you will have for me.
