Football history:
I'm the wife of a die-hard Bears fan, stepmom to two other die-hard Bears fans. Over time, it has rubbed off on me, so I guess that makes me a Bear stepfan.

I grew up in the NFL-free state of Oklahoma and have lived in Minneapolis for 10 years. I have always loved football and enjoy watching just about any well-matched game, even if I can't watch my team. Dad raised me on the Redskins (a holdover from his Pentagon days), so I still have a warm spot in my heart for the Skins too.

On the non-football side of life (yes, there is one!), I am an electrical engineer designing weapon systems for the Army & Navy. I own a cat, although I suspect the little beggar is a Patriots fan.

a fan of

Minnesota Twins Major League Baseball Team

Chicago Bears National Football League Team

Oklahoma St. Cowboys NCAA Men's Football Division 1A Team
