Football Fandom in the Internet Age: interview with MattyK!

Upstate, early on in the Finger Lakes region, but mostly in the Albany area.

I'm a "Jersey" guy, went to school in the Millburn /Short Hills area and then moved down the shore to the Seagirt/ Springlake area.

I think we're the only one of the major Redskins fan sites that hasn't had internal unrest (particularly at the front office level) that led to major departures and renegade fan sites.

We've joked about it of course (April Fools 2006 I believe) but it's actually happened elsewhere

Yeah good point. Well expect for Joe Crisp of course. Still wondering what happened with him. I found him on Facebook but I feel odd even just saying hello.

I reached out to him a couple of times, he never responded.

Matty, if you dont mind me asking, why or how did you become a life long skins fan?

Only Bennys call it the shore. If you live down here now it's the "Beach".

SB XVII got me hooked. Plus it helped that my parents ran a sports bar growing up so we had all the games every weekend.
