Introduction

In light of recent events, I've decided that my new year's resolution will be to start a blog. Those of you who hang out with me on a regular basis know that I have a tendency to say things that range from insightful, profound, to down right offensive. One person in particular has been saying time and time again that I need to write these things down so here we go.

This blog will be about my most predominant interests: athletics (mostly pertaining to running, triathlon training, and golf), professional sports, gambling, and of course gambling on professional sports. I have been a runner all my life, from running cross-country and track in high school, to recently completing my first marathon. I have been a golfer since the age of 13 and over the past two season have maintained a single digit handicap. I am a Philly boy born and raised and am what radio personality Anthony Gargano calls a "4 for 4" guy in the world of Philly sports. I love my Birds, Phillies, Flyers and 6ers (yes, in that order). Finally, any of you who have spent even 10 minutes with me know that I have a borderline gambling problem. I will bet on anything and everything. I've made bets ranging from $1000.00 all-ins at a no-limit poker game to $25.00 on what rating "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" got on Rotten Tomatoes.

Now that you know a little more about me, I hope you all know what kind of material to expect on future posts.
