Carmine Caruso

My name's Carmine Caruso (By the way "Carmine" is pronounced with a silent e, sounds like "Carmen"). I am one of the editors here at SFC. I'm also a fan of the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Boston College football & basketball. I live a few miles away from Gillete Stadium and my family holds season tickets to the Patriots, and I also go to Fenway Park a few times a year. Because of the recent success of my teams, I've been criticized as a bandwagon fan plenty of times. That is false; win or lose, I have always and will always love my teams. I am knowledgeable about sports and follow them well, and that's why I'm here.
