About Mariner Eccles

Born and raised in New Jersey, Mariner has a passion for New York area sports, none more so than the Brooklyn Nets, having been a season-ticket holder for many years. However, the passion in the NFL was vitriol towards the New York teams as he grew up a Cowboys fan. Ironically, in 2008, he moved to Dallas. Mariner remains passionate about the Nets since moving, and about sports in general, actively willing to engage in intellectual debate and/or banter about anything. Other sports interests include curling and soccer. You can follow him on Twitter @TheMeccles or circle him on Google+
