Brian Ford - Intro

My name is Brian William Ford; I’ve previously worked as a landscaper, apprentice electrician, electrical supply deliverer. I am a freshman at Nichols College, and am studying sports management. I enjoy sports in all forms. I played hockey, football, and baseball as a child growing up. That all changed 3 years ago when I tore some ligaments in my thumb and knee and also shattered my shoulder so I decided to start to pick up the European game known as Rugby. Rugby is now my life beside School and Success.

 This blog was started because of my enrollment into a digital apps class at school. I hope to learn more about PowerPoint, general computer awareness and also a more confident mind set while I’m working on a computer. I also have to take this class to receive a degree from Nichols College.  I have very basic general knowledge with computers and am looking forward to further expanding my skill and knowledge with a computer and all its different functions and programs.
For the first blog I choose to follow, i decided to go with ESPN.com. The espn blog gives timely sports updates. Also the blog gives in depth analysis on all my favorite teams. Some blogs only cover one team or one league while espn covers all sports and all leagues. This is why Espn is useful because as I said earlier I’m a Huge Rugby Fan and need coverage from the National Football League to Ireland Rugby. Espn also allows its viewers to view international soccer, major league baseball, and the national basketball association and even bowling articles. From the blog you can access all sorts of videos and interviews with various athletes and coaches. In my opinion the national football league is the most exciting, jaw-dropping spectacle in all of sports. There is hard hitting action and seamless touch passes along with elusive running that makes football a great sport to read about. There are so many players on so many different teams that players are always being exchanged and relocated into new markets to do new things. Without the espn blog it would be impossible to keep up with everything that goes on in professional sports every single day.

  1. I like that you followed the espn.com blog to see a range of sports, not a blog limited to just one team. I also thought it was interesting that you've worked as an electrician. I went to a tech school and studied electricity for a year. It's a great field to work in!
