An Introduction

Howdy! My name is Derrick Angermeier. I suppose that an introduction is necessary given that this is my first post. I was born in Altoona, Pennsylvania, a little town about an hour outside of Pittsburgh. Since being born there I have lived in Florida, Georgia, back to Altoona, Georgia, Tennessee, and now live in Georgia. With all the moving in my younger years, my family was my social network. As such, I grew up with a northerner mentality. I have a great deal of respect for the blue-collar worker, do-it yourself mentality, and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
I come from a long line of Steelers fans. My Grandfather has followed them for most of his life and he passed this down onto my mom, uncle, my little sister, and me. I am always regaled with stories of my grandfather and uncle running out into the cold, snowy night after the Immaculate Reception. My Uncle makes a yearly trip to watch a Steelers and Penn State game. He was also in Detroit for Super Bowl XL. Some of my fonder memories have been watching the Steelers with my family. My Grandfather stood up and walked way from the tv after Polamalu's interception was taken away (something I still am upset about) in the Divisional Playoff Game, only to come back in time to see Jerome Bettis fumble on the two yard line. I teared up when Bettis said that Detroit would be the last stop. I have watched the Steelers through thick and thin, as a true fan should.
In recent years my interest in football has spanned beyond the Steelers. I have since been somewhat obsessed with the multiple goings on in the NFL. For three years, I have anxiously followed trades, free agency, the draft, training camps, and many other events that occur in the NFL. I can say with confidence that I have an in-depth knowledge of the rosters of each NFL team. I use this knowledge to develop mock drafts, make a championship caliber fantasy football team, and debate with my friends about various team moves. So now, I have decided to post my knowledge here on this blog. I will post mock drafts I have developed , theories I have, rumors I have heard, fantasy football information, and anything else football related I feel is noteworthy. So, with this all too brief introduction I shall depart. I hope you stay tuned.
