Sup peeps?
So here we go my first attempt at this whole blogging thing. First thing first, I am not a writer, I usually don’t even enjoy writing but I am confident in my knowledge on sports which is what will make this fun. Don’t expect a professional piece, worded perfectly and sounding like I am auditioning for a newspaper. I love sports, it’s always been my passion so why not try to spread that passion and also help out a friend’s blog at the same time? I think this could be a fun ride and hopefully everyone comes along and joins us for it. Since this is my first time on here, I figured I’d drop a little information about what makes me tick when it comes to sports.
Steelers, Pens, Pirates and Heat have always been my teams in the four major sports. Hard to live in Pittsburgh and not have a love for the Steelers and Pens so no real shock there. I don’t follow baseball as close as I do the other sports and obviously the Pirates have been on a record tear of suck but they’re the local team and if by chance one day they turn it around it will be nice to say I didn’t jump back from being a Yanks or Sox fan. Now for the one that sticks out a little more, the Miami Heat. Obviously, at first glance you’d say “oh must be a LeBron fan”, can’t blame you for assuming that but I have followed the Heat since the days of Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning. I have no idea why or how I got hooked on them but back when Jordan was just running things it was fun to have another team to root for.
When it comes to college sports I’m a little less passionate and I always root for Pitt teams but my main attention falls elsewhere. For basketball, I’m a front runner and root for North Carolina. I started liking them back in the day while Pitt was still struggling to make the tournament. For football, my team has always been the Miami Hurricanes. This one you can blame my family for because my cousins passed down many different Hurricanes items while I was younger and just stuck with me.
My other big passion in sports is MMA. I fell in love with it back in high school and have just gotten more addicted as time has gone. A lot of people see it as a boring sport and I can see how someone who has never watched before could come to that assumption but if you really give it a chance and try to understand it you will find out just exactly how awesome of a sport it is.
I follow all sports and everything about them so you never know what pop up as my next topic but I’ll always try to make it interesting. Even though all the teams I listed above are my favorites, I try to have an open mind when it comes to other teams too. Sure, I don’t like it when my teams lose to our rivals but I am not the kind of person who is going to rip on someone for liking another team. If everyone was a fan of the same team sports would just be boring. So now that this has drawn on much longer than I would have liked, I’ll stop before I’m hated after one post. Next time I promise I’ll try to make it less painful and have an actual point to get across. Heres to yinz! Cheers!
