Hey, Texans fans.My name is Matt Burnham, and I am a new member of the staff here at BRB.I am a 22-year old student at the University of Memphis and an aspiring sportswriter. I am from Boston and grew up a Patriots fan, so you might be ask yourselves
Christian Covington Jersey , why am I writing for a Houston Texans blog?I am a huge fan of the NFL as a whole. I just love the league.I love the games.I love Sundays. When it comes to the Texans, I have liked them for a long time. I always enjoyed playing with them on “Madden” as a kid, and I have followed them since the early Matt Schaub/Arian Foster/Andre Johnson days. Oh yes, those were good times for the Texans.The Texans are exciting now, and they should have an MVP-caliber quarterback (first post topic teaser) for the next twelveor so years. It seems as though things aligned at the right time as I am simultaneously beginning my journey as a sportswriter!I am going to do my best to make BRB even better than it already is, and the rest of the crew has welcomed me with open arms. I promise to bring some of that H-Town spirit over to Memphis, and then back home to Boston.I look forward to all of it.
