I wanted to use this section to introduce myself and give a little context on my sports background. I was born in South Florida in 1987 and have been a full-blown Miami homer for as long as I can remember. The first football season I vividly recall watching was 1992, and from that point on, sports pretty much had me hooked.
I’ve always been drawn to sports analytics—comparing players, teams, eras, and trends. As a result, most of my posts will lean heavily on statistics to support my opinions. I’m well aware that numbers don’t tell the entire story, but when used correctly, they can sharpen the picture and cut through a lot of noise.
I’ve been watching sports for roughly 28 years, but I’ve also spent plenty of time playing them:
Baseball: 1991–2001
Basketball: 2001–2006
Soccer: 2001–2007
I was never a standout athlete in any of these sports. I enjoyed playing, had some moderate success even after high school, but I don’t pretend to be an authority—especially when it comes to intangibles. For that side of the conversation, I lean on friends who were high-level athletes and know that world far better than I do.
I hope you enjoy the blog. I fully expect some disagreement—that’s kind of the point. I welcome comments and discussion, just keep it respectful. Good debates make sports fun; nonsense doesn’t.
