Who is Matty F?

I suppose introductions are in order. I am Matty F. Currently I split time between beautiful, sunny Winter Park, Florida, and Northern New Jersey. As is necessary in a blog designed for men I should explain my biases, so you all know of my shortcomings and understand my views in my posts. I attended an all-boys Catholic prep schools for high school and one of the most lucratively indulging colleges in the world, Rollins College. Growing up in the little publicized WASPy sections of North Jersey, I consider myself preppy (Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers, Lacoste, Vineyard Vines, J. Crew) and given that my father is an affluent New York City businessman, I also consider myself a bro (alcoholic, spoiled, uses women for sex, etc...).

As for sports, I figure I need to get this out of the way, I mostly favor the local New York teams. I am a die hard Yankees fan. That being said, I do not discourage Red Sox fans from posting on this blog but it should be noted that I abhor nothing more in the world (besides Islamic Extremists) than the Boston Red Sox. It should be noted that I respect Red Sox fans more than any other fans in baseball and New England is like a second home to me. I just am victim of dogmatic hate of the Red Sox. In terms of football, I root for the Giants, though not as fanatically as I support the Yankees. Basketball I am a New Jersey Nets fan, though I assume I will be entering fan free agency very shortly after the Nets make the move to Brooklyn. As for hockey, I was a lifelong Rangers fan. However, the Dolan Family, current owners of the Knicks, are the worst owners in professional sports, so I have dropped that allegiance and moved to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Given my dual location in Central Florida and hot Lightning center Steven Stamkos makes supporting the team a no brainer. Given that Rollins College is a Division II school and most students are unaware that Rollins has sports teams, I have no allegiance to any college teams but there are definitely a few that I favor. In College Football I lean towards Pittsburgh (the school of my father, his sister, and my great grandfather), Penn State (alma mater of my grandfather and brother, my grandfather contributed in writing the history of Penn State football), and Rutgers (my mother's alma mater, local New Jersey school, and for the most part a hilarious excuse for college athletics). College Basketball is all about the Pitt Panthers. I will fight anyone who claims that Pitt Basketball is not a national powerhouse and that Jamie Dixon is not one of the top tier coaches in basketball. I am a boxing enthusiast and have nothing to say about the sport until Mayweather fights (and defeats) Pacquiao.

I hope this affirms my biases and gives everyone a better idea who I am.
