Finding Friends

While I was out doing other things besides posting here, I found myself digging around for friends on Twitter and other places who shared some of my interests.

Over the past year, I've found groups of Mets, Rangers and Jets fans to follow for their commentary. That was fairly simple due to the loud and angry noises those groups tend to make.

A much more difficult task was finding Serie A fans and writers who spoke English. Fortunately, I found them and then I discovered a great Serie A fantasy game at Serie A Live.

I was able to meet with Vince, who runs Serie A Live and we had a great dinner and keep in contact to discuss all things calcio. This, of course, spares my brothers from my ramblings all the time, and gives me a new person to listen to my blather.

Anyway, Vince is a great guy and does a fantastic job with the fantasy game. You can also follow him on twitter here.

Another discovery was the Pink Shirt Wise Guys, who have a blog and podcast. I always make sure I listen to the weekly show to keep myself in the loop with Serie A talk. It also helps on the middle-of-the-night car rides home from work.

Some other great Serie A reading on Twitter and in no particular order:

After writing that long list, I can't wait to see more Serie A action this weekend and my Inter visits Cagliari on Sunday.
