Brief description
Sports Talk from a NE Perspective
Extended profile
Who am I?
My name is Scott Dresser, I am a 21 year old political science student with minors in philosophy and international relations at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
That may not sound like a recipe for passion towards sporting teams, but growing up on the South Shore of Boston, I always was and will be a die hard fan of New England Sports. Whether it was reading the sports section every day as I delivered my newspapers or dreaming of pitching for the Red Sox, I've always loved my hometown teams.
Of course, I don't only follow Boston-area teams. I follow every team in all of the major sports (sorry hockey, you don't count until you get a real TV station to televise your games...) including college, and believe that I offer a rational and thought-provoking take on matters across sport in America.
I am also something of a politics nut, so I will not hesitate to discuss societal issues, especially when politics and sport collide, as seems to be happening more and more.
I hope, if you're taking the time to read this, you stop by my blog and give my writing a shot. Drop me a comment, I'd love to hear from you, and, if you don't say something too dumb, I'll be sure to weigh in on what you say. Basically, I love to talk sports- especially Boston (or is it New England?)sports. I encourage you to join in!

Well, this is my first post at the new website, trying it out to see how I like it.
I've done a semi-thorough job in my profile at describing this blog, but for those that are too lazy to click there, I'll provide some background on the blog here. If you want to find out about me personally, you'll have to go to my profile.
I started this blog more or less because I'm tired of the way that sports talk in Boston works. There are a few places where rational discussion takes place, such as Sons of Sam Horn, but for the most part, sports talk is relegated to the know nothing variety of Mike Adams, the "see who can yell at the callers the loudest" style of WEEI's "The Big Show", or the eminently un-inclusive style of shows like New England Sports Tonight in which the beat writer talks at the viewer for 5 minutes or so.
