Player Valuation: Free Transfer
47, single guy, journalist, came somewhat late to footy but fell hard for the Toffees since 2006 or so; as a Yank was first attracted by Tim Howard's presence. My brother-in-law (pre-Abramovich Chelsea supporter) and my best friend (a Leeds United supporter since the 1970's from Chicago) said I needed an English team to follow. I looked around, read a lot and loved the character, class and history associated with Everton and so I am here. So many American fans make the easy ScUM choice or Arsenal or ... them ... and that seemed too easy to me, so the Toffees it was. I made the right call!! Hope to get to Goodison for a game soon! I am a fan of U.S. sports (esp. college American football and baseball) as well but Everton means as much as any of those these days. My favorite all-time and current Everton player would be, since I am a newbie, Howard. Arteta too. Cahill especially because Liverpool people seem to hate him. And I really like Baines on the backline. Found the forums from a Facebook link. Pineapple on pizza: sign of the Apocalypse.

Welcome mate. You pineapple answer is the best one yet, laughing here.
 
This is dead sound on the pineapple/pizza question. Welcome to GOT from one yank to another.

Scrapple? Yes/No?

I'm guessing you're an Iggles/Phils guy until corrected. Philly fans understand the deal. They value patience and demand effort.
 
i like you. im a journalism student. in the northeast. and i hate pineapple pizza.

this is top-shelf bonding we have goin on here.
 

Thanks for the welcomes.

Scrapple YES. But no ketchup or maple syrup or other such silliness.

Actually as a journalist I cover the Iggles and Phillies and as such am not a fan of theirs. I have never been in an Eagles fan. Used to be a Phillies fan, that has changed. My NFL team is the Miami Dolphins, proud 'Fin fan since 1968 when I was six and liked their colors. Baseball, the Chicago White Sox. U.S. collegiate (American) football, Northwestern.

Mezzrow you are dead-on on Philadelphia fans. They are also, in my view, a little too keen on heart/hustle guys who (in the end) lack talent and a little hard on the actually really gifted players (Charles Barkley, Donovan McNabb).

Wow. Jags/Cubs/IU here. Was a follower of the Phins til we got into the show here locally. You have to move on - I'm a Jax homeboy that went to IU.

Would you like a set of Jags season tickets? Ace coupons... Save yourself hundreds of $$ w/ local merchants.

NU J-school? Good music school - running up for a lesson or two w/ a top guy teaching at Northwestern w/ some Northside friends got me into the Cubs addiction. Nothing better than baiting Pete Rose from the bleachers, holding a paper cup full of lukewarm Old Style. mmm... those were the days. You got it right on the Scrapple. Don't cover up the squeal - take it straight or don't eat it.
