Hi! My name is....

So let me finally introduce myself.  I'm Mr. Armchair, and you are probably not going to meet anyone more armchair quarterbackish in your life.  I love watching and attending sporting events and then talking and criticizing everything about it.  I'm the guy who yells at the TV for the coach to call the right play or the official to make the right call, and then when they don't, I yell louder because I figure they just couldn't hear me.  As Mr. Armchair, I'm always right and my opinion and thoughts always matter.

Growing up as an only child, I have grown accustomed to having so much to say, but no one to listen.  My parents weren't really into sports but enjoyed the fact that I played and it give me something to do besides eating Oreo cookies every day after school.  Now as a grown man, I'm eating Oreos two at a time, and still have no one to talk sports with.  My fiance can only handle so much of my sports infatuation, and with no kids yet or dog to listen to me, most nights I end up sitting in my papa bear recliner muttering to myself about how if I were manager of the Giants I would move Buster Posey into the three hole in the batting order over Aubrey Huff, and how the Kings should trade Tyreke Evans now while his stock is as high as it will probably get.  I might as well have dunlap syndrome and have a piece of bologna hanging out of my mount while pounding a tall can of Coors Original.  I'm not there...yet!!   

So my fiance suggested that I start a blog so that I can throw my ideas and insight out there for people to read.  Now that I have started this blog, instead of my fiance not listening to me talk about sports, I can probably expect millions upon millions of people on facebook and the blogosphere, to not read or listen to anything I have to say.  But at least I will be putting it out there for people to decide and not just sit here in my papa bear chair, muttering to myself.  Hopefully, you will find this somewhat amusing, entertaining, and informative.  And just maybe we can engage in some constructive sports dialog.  In the meantime, I'll try to keep the muttering down.
