What is The Sports Divide?

The Sports Divide is unlike anything you have ever seen. Two guys, with clearly nothing better to do, have a revolutionary idea regarding sports and this new thing called a 'blog'. We plan on presenting two diverging viewpoints on a current sports topic in a style that will make you think and hopefully laugh a little.  

We are two close friends who met over 20 years ago when nobody else wanted to be friends with us. Our love of all things sports is central to our relationship and we plan on retelling all of our sports glory moments. Erik’s sports career peaked back in middle school when he was an All-World little league pitcher, but refused to take PED’s going into high school and quickly became another average red-headed hurler. Joe was a decent bench soccer player in high school. Unfortunately, his sensitive stomach forced him to retire and join the drama club and other clubs that were near a bathroom. Joe eventually graduated and went off to Montclair State University, where he doubled his friend totals. After high school, Erik matriculated at Arizona State University where he gained notoriety for his efforts as being Sparky the school mascot. Unfortunately for Erik, Sparky is required to do push-ups after every score. After an early 3-0 lead, Erik was unable to complete the 3 push-ups and subsequently quit.
People don't realize how heavy that costume is.
Erik currently lives in northern Virginia with his wife and 6 month old daughter and works for the U.S Government. In his spare time, Erik has begun writing a biography on the Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid.
'Andy Reid and the Challenges of Being a Mormon Sex Symbol' is slated for completion in 2012 
Joe lives in the 51st state of North Jersey with his wife and 6 month old daughter. He works for a major retailer and can recite every line from Mr. Belvidere. He too has been writing in his spare time. Please check out his Twilight blog at www.AllThingsEdward.blogspot.com
Please note that this site is not for those who prefer Jacob over Edward.
We hope you have as much fun reading our posts as we do writing them. Please comment on our posts and feel free to tell us how crazy we are.

  1. I can't say that I'm surprised at all that Erik is writing a book about Andy Reid being a sex symbol. I mean, take Erik and add a bushy red mustache (not that hard). Now add 12 pounds. You see what I mean.
