While I never played football growing up, at least not officially (I was just too skinny), I’ve always been fascinated by the game. And it’s easily one of the sports I most look forward to watching each and every year, whether it be college or the NFL.
While the game has certainly changed drastically over the years, my interest has never waned. In fact, the NFL essentially became my specialty for a while, as I led a team of football writers as a Section Editor for Sportscasting.
I’ve also done several specialty projects over the years, my favorite being a tournament featuring the first 56 Super Bowl winners, which you can find HERE.
