About Me
93% Complete Bio
I have been a Dodgers fan since I used to watch NBC's Game of the Week back in the '60s, and a great pitcher named Sandy Koufax was usually featured. The rest of my fandom started in the '70s when I started following the Flyers with Bobby Clarke, and the Eagles with Roman Gabriel.

Teams
Mike
Hates
| Dallas Cowboys | |
| Why I Hate Them: | Because they are the team that the most obnoxious people in the Philadelphia area choose to support. These people want to make themselves feel greater than their friends and neighbors, so they choose to cheer for the Cowboys so they can smear their friends' noses in the relative successes of the teams. |
| Players I Hate: | Always hated Michael Irvin and Deion Sanders...I don't like show-offs. |
| San Francisco Giants | |
| Why I Hate Them: | I hate that their insignificant fans choose to hate the Dodgers, but they don't realize that most Dodgers' fans see them as insignificant as a mosquito on a hot day. |
| Players I Hate: | Barry "Steroids" Bonds. |
