New guy from Northeastern Pennsylvania

[Ross12]

Hey guys, posted a few times already but figured I should do one of these too as a formality... I'm a big Pats fan living in northeastern PA, which can be pretty difficult, because it's hard to catch Pats games here, and the local fans are insufferable. There are truckloads of Jets and Giants fans because half the people around here are from NY and NJ, and if they aren't fans of them, they're most likely a Steelers fan, which can be worse because they don't shut up about their hundreds of rings from 100 years ago. Occasionally you'll find an Eagles fan, who get a bad rap nationally, but they're not so bad; they're only bad in Philly, but everyone is bad in Philly. My god, never go to Philly if you can help it.

But anyway, back to me - I'm 24 years old, been married to my gorgeous wife for 1 year and I have a 5 year old stepdaughter, so football is my man escape when the girls drive me crazy. I don't know any other nearby PA fans, but hope I might meet some here! I am a certified optician by trade, and manage an optical shop here. My other interests include technology (I've built a few computers), reading (fiction mainly), grilling/cooking sometimes, hiking on occasion, fantasy football, and plenty of other stuff.

Hope to see you all around on the forums!

Try being a Yankees, Patriots, Bruins fan living in Baltimore, Maryland out of all places for work. I am from Rhode Island originally, and got a transfer down here, after I left NE. Ravens fans are the most insufferable human beings ever on the planet. Redskins fans eh, I actually feel really bad for them for the constant crap they put up with.
