Soccer wise, I always liked Manchester United and Barcelona, but I have always been a New York Giants and New York Yankees fan as well.

I know a lot of the guys will be surprised by this, but I like to read a lot.  I also like to watch movies, hang out.  Just basically do things to relax.

If you could change places with one person, who would it be and why?
I would have to say Tiger Woods.  Just to see what it would be like to be him for day, to see the difference.  For the golf as well as his celebrity.
