Since the NGS 2 began I've realized not too many frequent my blog any more. It could be that an influx of new writers have stolen my traffic, or that I am simply not entertaining. Mainly, I think it's because I don't have pictures of Natalie Gulbis or Jenny Finch but that is not the point.

The problem is, like thousands of other people on this site, I'm in the business of competitive blogging, specialized around the fine art of sports writing. With the exception of a few pioneers in the NGS 1, nobody knows my writing style or my story.

Luckily for the newbies, or those who missed it the first time around, I've decided to condense my style, my story, my philosophy and my randomness in 100 quick tidbits.

100. I wear only sports hats. In the last 16 years I have accumulated roughly 100 of them.

99. I've never caught a home run, or foul ball, but if I caught one from an opposing team, I'd throw it back.

98. I'm watching Tremors 2 right now, the original used to be my favorite movie.

97. I wish every Saturday was a college football Saturday.

96. I've used to be a really big Shaquille O'Neal fan until he ate Anfernee Hardaway in the mid 90s.

95. I think it is a sin to root for teams outside of my local newspaper's coverage area.

94. I think Scott Pollard has really nasty sideburns.

93. AC/DC's Thunderstruck is the greatest sports pump up song ever.

92. Eye of the Tiger is a close second.               

91. I think Lost is the greatest current television show.

90. I'm a big fan of the three man weave.

89. I think the spike is still the greatest sports celebration.

88. I'm not a big fan of soccer.

87. I always root for the underdog, unless they are playing my favorite team.

86. I don't get the concept of professional teams wearing, purple or teal.

85. I don't like the way ESPN only covers the Yankees, Red Sox, Tiger Woods and Kobe Bryant.

84. I really dislike Kobe Bryant.

83. I truly believe Kobe Bryant is the best player in the NBA right now.

82. I'm 4-37 all time at Comerica Park for Detroit Tigers games.

81. I'm somewhere around 12-0 for Michigan football games at the Big House.

80. I saw Touchdown Jesus once. He winked at me.

79. The Soprano's is also a very good show.

78. I have an autographed Michael Vick card worth a few hundred bucks.

77. I have about 10,000 other cards not worth that much combined.

76. I'm a really big fan of cheeseburger flavored hot pockets.

75. I'm not really a MAC guy.

74. I rooted for Mark McGwire in 1998 and now I feel used.

73. If I was rich, and I caught Barry Bonds' record home run ball, I would either throw it back or destroy it.

72. Red Foreman scares me.

71. I play competitive dodgeball, my team is ranked No. 1 in the state of Michigan.

70. The school I go to is my favorite school's rival.

69. The school I go to recently lost to Rutgers in football, that just about explains it.

68. I met Lute Olsen, Dick Vitale and Rolly Mossimino at the Final Four.

67. I would wear a headband, a cutoff tee shirt and basketball shirts to work if it were socially acceptable.

66. I don't like players who are bad role models. Steroid abusers, drug addicts, Charles Barkley, Bode Miller and others.

65. I reached level 9 in NCAA Football 2006 which is pretty much God status.

64. I can't grasp the quarterback cone in Madden.

63. I haven't had Big League Chew in a while.

62. If I wanted to watch bounce passing, I'd watch middle school intramural basketball not the WNBA.

61. I think Ashlee Simpson is a trainwreck.

60. I like the Red Wings, but I don't like the way they underachieve.

59. I own a Joey Harrington throwback jersey.

58. If the other jerseys I own are any indication of how Joey will turn out, things look good. I also own Emmit Smith, Steve Young, Curtis Martin, Charles Woodson, Tom Brady, Mark McGwire , Shaquille O'Neal, and Charles Barkley jerseys.

57. I want to go to the Detroit Tigers fantasy camp.

56. I'm a closet Florida/Colorado/Marshall football fan.

55. I always root for the Big Ten, even Ohio State.

54. I watched a football game in Neyland Stadium, it was pretty tight.

53. I sat through a full Devil Rays Game.

52. I heckle all the opposing team's outfielders.

51. I can't golf or play tennis very well.

50. I used to by Topps baseball cards just to eat the gum.

Numbers 1-49 coming soon.
