Hello fellow beltway enthusiasts.  My name is Daniel Swartz and I am excited for the opportunity to share some thoughts, opinions, and insights to the Beltway Sports Blog.  I have lived within the beltway jurisdictions for most of my life.  Therefore, I can share in the pain and triumph of those who have seen their sports team rise and fall.  As always, feel free to share any opinions or ideas you have on my post.  Agree or disagree, any input is always welcome.
