How it all started...

Let me introduce myself. My name is Tiffany and one of my passions is sports. While attending FIU, my ultimate goal was to be one of the faces of ESPN. That obviously didnt happen and instead I became a mother, which is rewarding by itself, but I still have that love for sports. What better way to share with the world than writing and sharing my thoughts on a blog!?

So here I am 4 years later, trying to get back on track. Let me tell you now: Im going to give it to you REAL. Here is a little insight into how and why a woman like myself loves the game.

Its funny that I would be one to love sports. Dont get me wrong, its one of the best sources of entertainment, however, I was never the athletic type. I was the high school cheerleader who didnt even take that serious. I played some softball here and there, but was never a dedicated athelete. It all started with watching the football games I was forced to cheer at, and supporting my male friends who played baseball.

It was all fun and games watching my boys play ball. Not really paying much attention, just looking forward to hanging out after. Although it was always exciting to see your peers succeed and do great things on the field (or court), my main objective was usually socially stimulated, which consequently turned into a genuine love for and knowledge of the game of baseball.

Im not one to name drop (you dont know me like that yet), but I am extremely proud of the boys and friends I used to watch over 10 years ago, who are now men who now play professional sports. How exciting! That innocent support and selfish fun was the beginning of a great relationship.

At all times of the year there is some type of sport going on. That means one cant be lonely! Lol. Whether you have all of the friends in the world or are more of a loner, there is always a game on tv or in a city near you. If you go to any game, all or most of the people in that venue have something in common with you. How many times have you gone to a sporting event and became instant friends with those around you because your team is winning!? (High fives for everyone!!!) There arent many things that you can do or places you can go where all kinds of different people can come together no matter their social status, color or religion, and have a common interest and a great time! (Minus rival fans of course, we'll get to that another time.) What a beautiful thing.

My love for baseball turned into a love for basketball, and ultimately football, among other great sports like tennis, golf (or should I say Tiger), beach volleyball, etc. When I know or have met certain athletes, Ill follow them and see how theyre playing. Having that personal connection with people always makes things more exciting, no matter what it is.

Today I would say my favorite sport is football. I will never act like or pretend to know it all in any sport, but you can try me. Lol I can hold my own. Im a sports fan and thats just what it is. I mean, come on, it doesnt hurt that there are some beautiful men playing!! I told you I was gonna keep it real.

Thats me in a nutshell. Im going to give you my perspective on sports, life and maybe even love.

Stay tuned... oh and GO DODGERS!!!!
