For several years, I've been writing about politics, the environment, and other social issues, including as often as I have been able to on theHoundDawg blog, and in forums, other blogs, on Yahoo Answers, and elsewhere, but most of my time has been spent building ecommerce websites. I've ignored to a great extent my passion for sports, as it relates to my web presence. Well, today I decided to end that, and theHoundDawgSportsBlog is born.

I've got a lot of time to make up.

I hope to post daily, providing information, opinion, and hopefully insights, to sports, with an emphasis on the teams that are important to me - the LA Dodgers, UCLA Bruins Basketbal, UCLA Bruins Football, the LA Angels, the LA Lakers, and, uh, what is that LA NFL team...........? Well, you know what I mean. That is not to say that I will be ignoring other teams and other sports. Occasionally, the likes of hockey, golf, and maybe even formula one will come up. And rest assured I will have a few choice words from time to time for the likes of the brain surgeons from the University of Spoiled Children. What I will not discuss includes what I feel is the most boring spectator sport there is, tennis, and you won't be reading anything here about the good ol' rednecks of nascar.
