I have been posting a lot more, I am on the road less.  I joined Celtics Talk in 2013 and I have only made a little over 300 posts. I thought it might be interesting for some people to know a little more about me. I say this not to toot my horn, actually who gives a crap what I did!! I only decided to make this post because I think a have different opinions than some here. I think that has a lot to do with my job. For about 35 years a had a company in Bristol CT. Our client was ESPN and we were lucky enough to work on many shows for those years. Outside the Lines, SportsCenter, NBA gameday, College Gameday. We did features, the producers would come to our edit suites and we would create the features from start to finish. We worked on the NBA and the NBA draft. I had to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement and never really felt comfortable creating posts even though I thoroughly enjoyed reading all of your posts and comments.  I did get to see sports in a different way. Anyway, There are a bunch of incredible resources, (people) in this forum that I lean on to learn more about trades, buyouts and the business side of things, so thanks!!
If I go dark for a while, it usually means I?m on the road, I don?t even know if we have a meet and greet area on the forum, if we do Please feel free to move this post. But anyway, I thought I would let everyone know why I read the forum so much and post so little and introduce myself. Thanks

Thanks for sharing!  It sounds like you have had many experiences of which most of us only hope to dream!

I want to know if any of the ESPN hosts read this forum and steal our thoughts/takes.  I swear, sometimes I post something or see something posted and then I hear the same thing on TV.

Yes! I can't speak for Celtics Talk, but remember, many of the people who work in sports Love sports and their team.  One interesting fact, I was never able to ask for any autographs! Which I believe is a great policy. But, I am asked a lot, man you must have a ton of autographs, Nope.

I don't care for ESPN, and they are garbage.  Stealing thoughts is the least of their problems.

Somehow I am not surprised LOL.  They are a Disney company, they gave me and my employees a good life, so I would never say anything bad about them.

I don't have any fundamental issue with ESPN.  It is Sports Talk Television for the masses.  What do you expect?  Now in my opinion, televising Cornhole and Pickleball is going a bit too far, but they have to have something to fill up the air time.  But overall, ESPN is good for sports and as a sports fan, that is a good thing.
