Sports and Father's Day

I just wanted to comment on and thank all the dads on their day that have helped their sons and daughters appreciate sports. My dad, Daniel Joseph Canney, was always active in whatever sport I played. He helped out at soccer practice, baseball practices, and even coached my basketball teams until I was too old to play in an organized league. I began my love affair with basketball because of my dad and still have the same passion for the game even today. Along with my grandfather, Bill Allen, and my step-dad, Don Harkins, all of them have helped me grow my love for sports beyond just basketball and football to include soccer and baseball. And even though it's father's day, I couldn't forget about my mom who always got me to my games and made sure my uniform was clean. But it is after all father's day and I want to give a big thanks to all dads across the globe. I raise my glass to you! Without the influence of the individuals I mentioned I wouldn't be the sports nut I am today.
