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've been all over the corparate ladder and pretty much know how CEO's and executives see the world. I am trying to get in the heads of the Jaguar organization but, other than Del Rio, they don't come out much. When I see something, I'll write about it.
I married Sandra in August, 2008 and she is wonderful.
To paraphrase Garrett Morris, "Jacksonville been berry berry good to me".
