Home:
Framingham, Massachusetts
General Background:
I am an Australian citizen that has relocated to the United States
until the NFL has a franchise out of Australia. Married with
two children, one a three year old boy who has a gun for an arm
and Daddy's little girl currently eight weeks away from seeing
the world for the first time.
Occupation:
I am a Software Development Manager for a medical software firm
in Massachusetts. I am holding onto the job for health insurance,
a complimentary PC that I keep having upgraded and a free T1
line to manage all my fantasy activities.
Credentials:
And I thought, "because I rock" was enough? Author
of the wildly successful "The Prognosticator"
series previously located at mrfootball.com which now can be
found exclusively at the #1 fantasy football site on the net,
thehuddle.com. I have
been published in several off-the- shelf fantasy football magazines
such as Fantasy Sports Publication's Pro Football Handbook. Active
in FanEx as the FanEx Swami
competition coordinator and chaired a recent FanEx committee.
Favorite Players:
I have many. For me there are three credentials that make a player
great in the NFL, a strong sense of family, a die-hard competitor
and a player that has not been spoiled by the money. I happen
to be one of those that agree with Charles Barkley that professional
athletes should not be role models for our children. However,
the ones that are, are extra special to me. Not all these guys
fulfill my entire criterion but some are included because they
embody one of my criteria so well, the other holes can be ignored.
In no particular order:..
Eddie George
Cris Carter
Jerry Rice
Steve Young
Joe Montana
Barry Sanders
Jim Brown
Franco Harris
Lynn Swann
Terry Bradshaw
Earl Campbell
Fuad Reveiz
(I challenge any other FanEx
member to put a kicker on their list!)
Favorite Team:
Brisbane Broncos. Not growing up in this country has left me
less supportive of the "home town" team. Although,
I like the atmosphere when the local team is winning so support
the local guys, the New England Patriots. There are a number
of other teams I like, the Steelers, Niners, Vikings and Packers
to name a few. That is right, possibly the only person in the
Universe that likes both the Vikings and Packers. See, oil and
water do mix.
You heard it here first:
Barry Sanders will be wearing
Miami teal next year and will juke AFC East defenses out of their
jocks.
The Tennessee Titans will once
again make it to the Superbowl.
