After reading most of the posts over the past few months, I seem to constantly wonder a few things:

1. Where is everyone from?

2. What does everyone do for a living?

3. How did anyone hear about SS?

I'm also interested to learn who's in the media in some way, shape or form (I think the question was asked before but I forget the answers).

I apologize to anyone who finds this creepy or doesn't feel like it's appropriate to answer the question, but if anyone is bored and wants to reply, I'd be interested to know.

(Just in case anyone's wondering, I'm from Stoughton, MA; I work in HR/advertising; and I became a Sullyholic through a combination of Boston Sports Media's links and a drunken realization that Mark The Moderator Citrone knew Biscuit's favorite walker personally).

1. Grew up in Westford, MA live in Tewksbury, MA. For those of you outside the area, that puts me about 45 minutes-1 hour outside Boston. 10 minutes from the NH border.

2. Accounting Manager at a software company.

3. I think I found him through something that was linked on BSMW.

4. Not part of the media at all. ninja.gif

Norm: Great I'll drop it in the mail, that way I know you'll never get it.

Mike B is right!

1. BB was born under the sign of Cancer on a blue moon at Camp Lejeune, NC in 1961. Raised in Medfield, MA until 1967 when HS sweathearts Mom and Dad BB moved to the backwater town of Foxboro, MA. In 1974, after being told by President Nixon, no federal funding for you nasty New Englanders, moved to Nevada, where Dad BB began to build the BB empire by consuming as much Coors as humanly possible in order to recycle the aluminum cans.

2. BB is currently under house arrest for stalking charges, a charge BB denies.

3. BB first met The Sheriff while walking out of a Starbucks. Finding it odd that a grown man would be wearing a silver medallion around his neck, BB investigated, discovering that large, bald man filled in for Bruce Allen on weekends (once or twice).

4. BB freelanced his senior year of high school for local sports section, discovering wealth and power at $.05 a word.

3. Back in the day I did not know how Dan Shaughnessy was. So I looked him up on google, and there came the Shaughnessy watch. Then there was a link to SS on there. smile.gif

1. I'll keep the streak alive, I too learned of SS from BSMW.

2. As just about everybody knows by now, I'm not in the media because along with an inability to either read or write, I NEED A DAMN EDITOR. To my credit however, I have had three letters published in Sports Illustrated and my local paper, the Philadelphia Inquirer, has been kind of enough to publish over a half dozen of my submissions to their sports page.

3. I'm orignally from Worcester, MA and if you're not familiar with it, then just visit Syracuse, NY and you'll have a pretty good idea what it's like. (Very hilly, somewhat squalid, etc.)

4. I now live in southern NJ which is generally considered the suburbs of Philadelphia. I spent a couple of summers working on Nantucket Island and lived for a number of years in Bethesda, MD.

5. I've got a pretty good job, and in an act of pure preservation, I'd rather not say too much else about it because there are so many out there that are more qualified than I at it. (Yuk,Yuk)

  • From Franklin (Mass.), now living in Norwalk (Conn.), working in New York (City)
  • Records coordinator (or, as my dad proudly puts it, glorified file clerk) at a private equity firm
  • I think Bruce linked to him on BSMW, although I don't remember why. I think I got in a couple of weeks in, when all the commenters were still his friends, going by handles like 'The Pee Pee Dragon'
  • Formerly of the media, maybe a notch lower than Sully was, and quit around the same age. Career highlights: voting for Heisman, Wooden Awards; making $35,000 laugh.gif

troy, I remember pee pee dragon. there used to be lots of "welcome, great blog" from other blogs. Sully used to push the comments and I would see the dragon and think I was breaking bread with a bunch or retards. Sully pulled me in by telling stories about himself I wouldn't share with a priest at confessional. Then, he would reveal his knowledge of sports and I was hooked. Nothing like it anywhere, but you guys know that because you're here, too. I think I first started corresponding because Sully always got Keith Foulke and Kevin Faulk mixed up. I thought I had missed something and he was goofing on them, but now we know, that's just our Sully. I probably spent two months without really checking into the comments and then it happened....the Manny story. Brought the site to a whole new level. I felt so bad for the beating Sully was taking that I started commenting. The whole BB thing took off with his numerous Ricky Henderson stories. Blah blah blah blah blah. I'm BB and I am a Sullyholic.

Bettcha you were none to happy to leave Bridgeton, eh Troy? I live in Gloucester County about 15 miles east of Philly and about a 15 minute drive to the Deptford Mall.

Hope I didn't give you the wrong impression about my writing skills or lack thereof, the Inquirer Sunday sports page publishes reader comments fairly regularly. On those very slow Sundays and with perhaps very few submissions, they've included some of mine. Usually they are comments to things that one of the columnists had written. Hope that helps and BTW, what publication were you associated with, if you don't mind my asking?
