Male, 39, Arab-Muslim, reside in Dubai .


I was born in Canada and grew up in North Miami. My dad was my best friend and we watched games together. I remember when we had a problem with our air conditioning unit in '86 or '87, and that amazing HVAC guy said hey, "that boy Tyson isn't playing."We watched him together, it was amazing. I thought I was special.
My dad originally emigrated to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and he believed that Warren Moon was the greatest passer he had ever seen.

Then he introduced us to hockey, and he thought that Wayne Gretzkey was the best thing that he ever saw. Gretzkey moved to Hollywood because he and his wife never understood "loyalty."

Me and my dad used to watch everything together. I remember February, 1990, when my dad told me that Tyson will not lose to Douglas, it was on HBO and aired from Japan.. He did. We watched women's tennis and loved Steffi Graf and my dad knew that Martina Navertoliva had a lover, and he was ok with that.

I don't know who I root for anymore. I grew up idolizing Dan Marino, my dad hated Don Shula. My first game was our loss to Penn State. I never forgave myself for it because it was ours.

My dad is dead now but I still think that Gretzky is a loser, as my dad says. But my dad loved him.

Memories are all that that they are about

Did you play on the team that won states in 96? I have game film from that game. Our DB coach from high school matched up against Moss almost the entire game, and he knew how much of a canes and ross fan I was so he gave me the tape from that game.

Tyrus and I were supposed to coach together in Pop Warner a couple of years ago. Tyrus didn't like the DC and stepped aside. I got to know him pretty well as I coached his son that year.

Nova actually had a lot of studs when he was there, then everything fell apart.
 
Anybody located on the West coast? (Tampa, Sarasota, St. Pete, Bradenton)

Where can I find a Cane's bar?

I'm guessing you hate the Rams too?

I'm a little too old to care about the Rams. I was ****ed when the Cardinals moved to Phoenix, though.
My favorite pro team is whatever has the most Canes and ,sometimes, the Fins.
Every year I look over the rosters to see which team I want to root for.
