I'm a 32 year old sports nut and father of two from Norman, Oklahoma. Obviously, my loyalties are to the Oklahoma Sooners. I'm also a huge Atlanta Braves fan. I once ended a relationship because football season was starting and I didn't have enough money to take two of us to the games. Priorities! I'm very excited to be a part of Rant Sports.
