Matt's Bio

A Canadian who followed Flutie south and grew to love the weird 4-down game and the doormat Chargers.

A quick explanation of my favourite teams because they seem to be all over the map and all for the outskirts of their respective leagues for fanbases, because they are. Canada is not a basketball nation, Miami is not a hockey town, and San Diego...well there is just too much to do in sunny San Diego. Expensive, but lots to do. I've been a few times, and it's like a cross between Italy and Hawaii.

But to explain how I got to where I am, I'm an Ontarian who grew up watching the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) and had the Toronto Maple Leafs stuffed down my throat. I also enjoyed watching the 3-down CFL and Doug Flutie tearing up the league. As I grew up, I realized that management for the TML had no interest in building a winning team, just a team good enough to have a buzz and make a huge profit. I played for a team called the Panthers and started following the Florida Panthers. The next year, they made the Cinderella run to the finals and lost in a sweep to the Avalanche. I've followed them ever since. As for the Chargers, I followed Flutie south to Buffalo, and then to San Diego. As my interest in the NFL grew, I grew more attached to the team itself rather than Flutie. So here I am today, it seems like the only fan of the Panthers, one of the few outside of sunny San Diego of the Chargers and part of the hometown crowd for the Lucky-to-be-in-the-East Raptors.
