MYINTROTOLETUKNOW

As far as my first entry will go, I'm going to steal a page from espn.com's page 2 writer Scoop Jackson (and my man "Jamiz"). When Scoop first came on the scene at espn.com, he gave a 100 pt list of his beliefs. I LOVED IT! So I'm keepin' the party movin' with the same formula. Shout out to my man "Jamiz" for allowing me to come on the scene with this same idea...
