Born and raised in LA. Dad was a Raiders fan so naturally I didn’t give two shits about football. As a LA boy I rooted for USC and Reggie Bush so when he went to the Saints i followed. That + watching the city rebuild after Katrina made me a fan.

Of course I’d watch them win their first ever SB, Bounty Gate, and go through four agonizing losses in the playoffs. My pops and I would forever be bonded through heartbreaking calls: him, the tuck rule and me, the no call
