    Looks like a nice site you have here.

    Quick introduction, 34 year old father of two boys, living in Michigan.

    Born in Germany, still fluent in the language.

    My specialty areas of knowledge regarding sports is definitely soccer and football (both NFL and college). Right after that is hockey, NASCAR and all auto racing, baseball, and then the rest, including a little guilty pleasure of professional wrestling.

    10 years in Germany, 15 in Tampa, and now 9 in mid-Michigan gives me a wide array of teams I follow.

    Diehard fan of Werder Bremen, as well as the Lightning, Bucs and Rays. Also a big fan of the Tigers and Lions (but hate the Red Wings). Beyond that, Florida Gators, USF Bulls, and Orlando Magic, as well as Division 2 school Northwood.

    Looking forward to great conversation.

    Welcome. If you ever want to have an in-depth discussion of the sports scene in Tampa, well, don't talk to me. I've never been there and don't know anything about it.

    I like you. Hating on the Red Wings. Good choice. =D Keep an eye on Big Frame, he might eat you.

    Im thinking of hunting you down, and beating you untell you like the Redwings.

    Welcome to the site, and what do you think of the Loons?

    I live in Midland, and head to several games a year. It's a great and fun afternoon every time, plus it gives me people I watched play to root for in the Bigs, even if most of them grow up to be Dodgers. So far, the two biggest names I've seen play are Clayton Kershaw and Carlos Santana.

    Yeah, I suppose. Personally, since I'm a boring guy, it fits me well. But I worked at Northwood University for five years, and that was the general complaint from the student body, for sure.
