Breaking the Ice

So, it looks like all those people at ESPN are right; anyone really can start a blog.

First thing is first, a little about me.

1. I am a Pittsburgh sports fan. I was born and raised in the black and gold and I fully support my teams. That said, there is nothing more I hate than "homers". Honestly, they embarrass themselves. Support your teams, just be knowledgeable about what else is happening out there. One of my biggest irritants is when someone will only support their team and ignore everything else happening. You can not like another team. I hate the Philadelphia Flyers. I hate them with everything I have, but I know they're a great team, and I give credit where credit is due. No, Jeff Carter does not suck. No, Mike Richards does not suck. They're actually exceptional players. I don't like them, but would I like to have them on my team? Hell and yes.

2. Being that I am a Pittsburgh fan, and the colors of this site are black and gold, the majority of the material here will be about Pittsburgh sports. But, I am a sports fan in general. So I will post news and my opinions on many of the things happening in the sports world. It will most likely be seasonal (Fall is football/hockey/baseball. Winter - hockey. Spring - hockey/baseball). I don't know shit about basketball, so there won't be much of that. Unless something really, really cool happens, like Ron Artest beating up Pistons fans.

3. The biggest reason for starting this blog? It's summer, I ain't got no job, and I ain't got shit to do. Also, I'm majoring in writing and I have hopes of writing for the dying medium known as newspapers someday.

4. Thank you to those of you who are still with me, I look forward to adding my 2 cents into the sports world.

God, I hate the icebreakers
