7. What's the story behind your User Name?- I am a fan of the band 'Faith No More' and became attached to one of their songs called, "King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime".

8. If there is anything else you would like to add, feel free to do so.- Before becoming a Suns mod, I attempted to change my tag to "DarkPhoenixSaga" but was not allowed to as it will confuse posters who see 10,000 posts for a user they've never seen before.

Locations - Phoenix, AZ

Favorite Current Sun - Nash

Favorite Former sun - Lou Amundson

How long a fan - Since 2004(Dont judge me i grew up in mexico and didnt learn about american sports until 2003/2004). The part of mexico i grew up in is right on the border with arizona so i grew up in mexico/u.s.(san luis & yuma). And no i didnt become a band wagon fan I was just lucky to start watching the suns when nash signed.

How did you become a fan - I just started watching the suns since 2004 not knowing anything about the team and instantly got hooked into the style of play the team played and have been watching ever since.

Other Sports & Teams - Soccer(Arsenal, Chivas, LA Galaxy, Real Madrid), Football(AZ Cardinals, NE Patriots) Basketball(OKC Thunder, CHI Bulls)

Story Behind Name - my email has been mdm692@hotmail.com for as long as i can remember so i make most of my user names this cause its easy to remember.

Anything Else - Last season i only missed 3 games from the full season due to mandatory work days. Since we have a shortened season i am aiming to watch all.

1. Location – Phoenix, AZ

2. Favorite Current Sun – Grant Hill

3. Favorite Former Sun – Charles Barkley

4. How long have you been a Suns fan for? – Since birth, but the first time I actually remember the feeling of being a fan was when I went to my first Suns game in ‘89

5. How did you become a Suns fan? – I didn’t have a choice really, my mom dressed me in Phoenix Suns onesies as a baby

6. Other sports you enjoy? What other sporting teams do you root for? – I enjoy Football, Baseball, and Hockey. My favorite professional football team is the Arizona Cardinals and my college team is Arizona State. My favorite professional baseball team is the Arizona Diamondbacks, and my college team is Arizona State. My favorite hockey team is the Phoenix Coyotes, with the Los Angeles Kings as a close second.

I'm also a huge Arizona State basketball fan, and also root for the Los Angeles Clippers (way before Blake Griffin) and the Boston Celtics (back when the original big three - Bird, McHale, and Parrish -were still around). I'm also a St. Louis Cardinals fan (not bandwagon either) and root for the Baltimore Ravens and Oakland Raiders.

7. What's the story behind your User Name? – It’s my initials and a nickname

1. Location - England

2. Favorite Current Sun - Nash

3. Favorite Former Sun - Shawn Marion

4. How long have you been a Suns fan for? - 8-9 years i guess

5. How did you become a Suns fan? - I really don't know exactly why. I was drawn to the roster at the time i guess. I have no conection to phx but they just ended up being the team i liked to watch and check-up on.

6. Other sports you enjoy? What other sporting teams do you root for? - NFL (Cardinals of course) and track and field events. I do like UFC but i only watch it when it's on and i'm not asleep. That's the worst thing about following American sports: the time difference. It's even worse that i support west coast teams. Makes watching Suns games a once/twice a week thing

7. What's the story behind your User Name? - was my nickname at college.

8. If there is anything else you would like to add, feel free to do so. - I have to say i'm a huge shoe fan. Friends of mine spend all their money going out on a saturday night but i'd rather stay in a couple of weeks and use that money saved to buy some Nike SBs. It's a sad life being a sneaker junkie but i wouldnt change it.

To be honest I dont really. I'm more of a rugby guy. I do like football (soccer) and I always watch the England games but not much else.
