A Not-So-Brief Welcome

Hello and welcome to Drunk on Sports. Since you've already taken time out of your undoubtedly busy day to contribute to my page view count, I suppose I should return the favor and tell all of you a little about myself and what I envision for this blog.

My name is Steve and I am a die-hard sports fan (Hi Steve). I am currently a freshman in college in the wonderful new city of Tacoma, Washington. For more information, I comprised a little list about myself as a sports fan. I started this blog because, well, mainly I realized that I don't do much of anything in my spare time and starting a blog seemed like a good way to force myself to write outside of class. But in addition, I tend to have very strong opinions on sports, especially concerning the teams that I care deeply about. Though I have absolutely no ability to play sports myself, not a day goes by when I don't consume some bit of new sports information from ESPN or the like. This blog should provide an outlet for me to express some of my opinions other than yelling them at my (mostly disinterested) friends and family.

Even though I currently reside in Washington, I spent most of my life elsewhere. Like Frank Lloyd Wright and The Meat Puppets, I grew up in the great state of Arizona, and lived there for most of my sports watching life. This means that I (somewhat unfortunately) grew up a fan of the Cardinals, Diamondbacks and Suns.* As such, I've experienced a hodgepodge of joy (Diamondbacks c. 2001), heartbreak (Suns), hopeless futility (Cardinals pre-2008), and everything in between (Diamondbacks 2002-2009).

*I'd be a fan of the Coyotes as well, if I had any knowledge of hockey whatsoever.

While I am reluctant to say that this blog will only focus on sports teams from Phoenix, you can certainly expect a lot of coverage of them, since that's where my interests predominately lie. I will also discuss nationally significant sporting events and whatever else you (the reader) wish to hear about. Let me know in the comments. Anyway, that's about it for now. Hopefully I'll have some actual content up soon. :)
