I have many influences that have driven me toward the decision of starting my own blog, Bill Simmons of ESPN.com being one (and certainly the biggest) of those. I acknowledged a long, long time ago that I do not possess such a fortunate pair of initials in which to name my blog with, so I've gone with the alter ego angle. When it comes to giving you my analysis on the world of sports as we know it, leave it up to the Axel to give you the spin. Hopefully people will get the whole Axel/Axle reference and how Axles spin.......yea I get it, not the funniest thing you've ever heard.
I am no Bill Simmons, but that still doesn't mean I can't attempt to combine my sports knowledge with my sarcastic sense of humor! My writing style is nowhere near as polished as Mr. Simmons', and I am no where near as witty as he is. But some may detect a sprinkling of his sarcastic tone in my writing, which I promise you is genuine and not forced in the slightest. Being from a middle class background of Irish descent and moving to the United States from London in 1999, sarcasm has always been a part of my every day life and sense of humor. So if there is ever a puzzling statement that may not seem clear to you, I urge you to please shoot me an email so I can either change my diction or explain the point I was trying to make. I don't wish for anyone to take any statement I may make or argue to come off the wrong way.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy reading this blog as much as I hope to enjoy writing it. I'm aiming at publishing at least one article per month, hopefully more, depending on how busy I am with school work, my family, and my A'capella group. But when a hot-button sports topic pops up on espn.com or any other leading sports news site, you can bet I'll be furiously writing a new article or two.
Remember whenever you need the spin, look no further then the Axel. (Hopefully I don't get too much flack for that one......)
