Welcome
For anyone that just found this blog, let me introduce my blog.
AOL RED Blogs had been my home for 2 1/2 years, but recently, AOL has decided to shut down RED Blogs on March 31, 2009, so I have moved this blog to its great new location here. I am already excited about to move, and am hoping to have the same success as I did at AOL, where I was the #4 ranked blog on the AOL network. If there are any old blog entries you want to see, you can still look on http://red.blogs.aol.com/njktmac213/the_sports_scene/ before March 31. After that, you can drop me an email or comment, and I'll be glad to look in my archives for that entry. Otherwise just come back for the best quality sports coverage out there.
Thanks again and welcome!
