| Introduction | Many seasons ago my fantasy Commish dubbed me The Sportsvixen, and the name stuck. It was suggested that I start a column under that moniker, thus this blog was born. Then I realized OCD blogging didn't mix with work, actually watching the sports I love, and having a life. So this blog became writing sample mini-storage. Now I'm picking it up again, without pressure of writing anything SI worthy.
Here are my stats:
Born: June 24, 1977, Fort Worth, TX College: University of Texas Baseball Team of Choice: The NY Mets But, I also root for the BoSox (guilt from ’86, mutual Yankee hatred, and it's impossible not to love Papi.) Football Team of Choice: Dallas Cowboys (3rd Generation Fan) Basketball Team of Choice: The NY Knicks Hockey Team of Choice: I'm from Texas, "Hockey is polar bear shit." But I do enjoy looking at Sydney Crosby, yum. Other teams/sports I enjoy: Longhorns Football Blue Devils College Hoops Tennis Soccer, when it's a big deal. Bull Riding, yet oddly, not NASCAR Golf (on rare occasions) |
