My favorite sports memory: Just growing up with three brothers and playing every sport every night and day with my friends. When just playing the game was more important than the outcomes were.

If I have a claim to fame as a fan, it would be: Coaching and or playing on many championship teams but most notably coaching the Razorback team that placed second at the national fastpitch championships in Orlando, Florida one time.
If I were the boss of local sports, the one rule I would enforce would be: Social media would be something that would be eliminated. Nothing good ever comes from social media posts about how good your kid was or how badly you win. If it isn’t positive and respectful to your opponent, leave it be. My saying is what takes 10 years to build can be gone with a 10-second post.
