Kirk and Rusty both grew up in the sports crazed city of Hampton, VA in the 1970s and 1980s.  Both of us grew up playing all kinds of sports outside in the “sandlot” and organized.  Our sports passion is molded by the huge rivals in the City of Hampton including the legendary Hampton-Bethel rivalry and later Phoebus was added to the equation.  Kirk and Rusty are influenced by legendary figures like Boo Williams, Mike Smith, Dennis Kozlowski, Bill Dee, Bob Killen, Lawrence Taylor, Leroy Keyes, Jerry Holmes, Shaun Gayle, Robert Banks, DJ Dozier and our peers Alonzo Mourning, J.R. Reid, Terry Kirby, Chris Slade, Ray Savage, Dwight Hollier, Todd Kelly, Wayne Gomes, Michael Husted, Mark Rainey and Andre Cason.

The great Sports Events of the 70s and 80s including the classic Super Bowls dominated by the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers and Washington Redskins.  In basketball it was the Los Angles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers, Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls.  In Baseball The Cincinnati Reds, New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers and the Oakland A’s.  We both love the Commonwealth of Virginia sports at the high school and college levels.  Through growing up in the 757 Kirk and Rusty have many friends and connections that span the globe in sports.  Now we both live in Northern Virginia which is part of the Washington DC Metropolitan Area.  We have made further connections with folks at all levels of sports.  We both love High School sports.  Our goal is to have fun talking about sports, be unique, keep things fresh and deliver the best podcast in the world.
