    Tom's Bio
    About Me:Member of FanIQ since October, 2006. Married to the greatest woman in the world. Send her a message and tell her to get more active on the site (sweetleilani). I am a sports nut in the truest sense. I go to as many games as I can of my favorite teams and we always tailgate when we go. I'm on FanIQ about 90% of my time it seems like, and the other 10% I'm on fantasy sites. If you want to talk sports, just give me a shout. I can do it all day.
