I was born in Erie, Pa, equally distant from the Bills, Browns, and Steelers. As a very young man dad and I went to Bills games but I switched to the Browns in time to watch the Brian Sipe then Bernie Kosar era. I hate the Steelers but love my Steeler friends. To me, Vic Ketchman is a typical Steeler fan, you can always tell one, you just can't tell him much.

Moving to Jacksonville in 2005, I bought season tickets and watched the best defensive football in 2006. The Jaguars won me over. In 2007, the running game was stunning and won me over again. I am staying with them.

I married Sandra in August, 2008 and she is wonderful.

To paraphrase Garrett Morris, "Jacksonville been berry berry good to me".

Jacksonville Jaguars National Football League Team
