I'm Robert, and I've been interested in sports for as long as I can remember. I'm sure that a lot of that comes from my relationship with my father, but I'll save all of that for Oprah or something. Rather than write a thesis about myself (that's what this blog is for), I'll try to give you a snapshot in list form. Before I do that, let me put in a plug for my own personal blog, Just for Sport. I've been updating it infrequently for a little over two years, and there's lots of good stuff (in my own mind) over there. I will probably look to update some of my better stuff for this blog in the future. On to the list.
