First look at fame

Welcome to the blog

Welcome to the blog! This is my first entry, obviously. This blog is mainly going to be used so I can discuss pretty much any topic I come across that I think is worth discussing. More than likely it will be sports related. And more detailed than that, probably related to sports in the mid-Atlantic region - Orioles, Ravens, University of Maryland, just to name a few.

Check out my YouTube channel where I post videos related to University of Maryland football, its players, and occasional highlight tapes for high school prospects.

Also, I'm an intern at The Baltimore Sun so look for occasional links and materials here, or there, to stories I've done with them.

Thanks - and be sure to pass along the link.
