Matt's Bio

I'm the Carolina Panthers and NFC South Community Leader. So if you have questions, want an opinion, need help with editing an article about the Panthers, don't hesitate to post a note on my bulletin board or shoot me an email at abfan@carolina.rr.com.

I'm a high school sophomore this year. My favorite teams at the moment (these change with the sports that are going on) are the Carolina Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes.

I'm currently writing on my school's newspaper staff.

I will begin writing on a website that's devoted to fantasy football called Ruleroto.com soon in addition to Bleacher Report...or so I thought. The founder of the site asked me to contribute. I replied back telling him I was up for it. Haven't heard back from him.

I'm having a lot of fun competing in the 2008 NFL Season Writing Contest.

My favorite sports to watch are football and hockey. Favorite to write about is football, as you could probably tell from all my NFL articles. Favorite to play, I guess, is basketball. I used to be really good but then I just didn't play at all one summer and most of my skills went down the drain. I still have a nice jumper, though.

I'm obsessed with football right now. It's all I've written about for as long as I can remember. I'm enjoying the NFL season more than I ever have before. I live, breathe, eat, and sleep NFL football. I just can't get enough of it.

I've been an NFL fan for awhile, but I've also tried watching college football. But it just doesn't appeal to me. I tried watching the Georgia-Alabama game last weekend and only made it through Bama's first touchdown before I got bored.

Note that, regarding my articles written count, I have actually written six fewer articles than it says. I accidentally published duplicates of six articles because I got too impatient and hit the publish button twice when the site took too long to publish the article after the first button click.
If I repeated anything in this bio, sorry. The one thing I don't edit on here is my bio.
I hate arrogant, trash-talking bandwagon fans with no sense of logic or common sense with a passion.
