About Me.
My name is Davey Newlove. I was born in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1980s. Growing up there, I became a fan of the San Francisco Giants and San Francisco 49ers at a very young age. In the late 1980s, my family moved to the San Joaquin Valley where I spent the next 20 years of my life. While living in the Central Valley, my love of sports grew as the Giants had a AAA team in Fresno. I also became a fan of Fresno State and watched some very talented players go through their program.
In 2009 I move to the Los Angeles area to get a B.A. Degree in Cinema and Television Arts from California State University, Northridge (Go Matadors!). I had a lot of fun banter with my friends in LA who were fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers (boooooooo). The Giants gave me a lot to say as they won the World Series in 2010 and 2012.
In early 2014 I moved to the Pacific Northwest, where I would spend the next eight years of my life. The Giants made me happy in 2014 winning their third World Series championship in a five year span. That made up for how bad the 49ers were and all the trash talk I endured from Seattle Seahawk fans while I lived there.
During the pandemic in 2020 I took a trip to visit a friend in Kansas City, MO during my birthday weekend. Little did I know that my friend would introduce me to the love of my life that weekend. After doing the long distance relationship for a while, I moved out to Kansas City in the spring of 2022. Kansas City is where I currently call home and I love the city and the sports teams here as well.
My Favorite Baseball Teams
I was born in the San Francisco Bay Area in California and grew up as a die hard San Francisco Giants fan. Spending time in the Pacific Northwest I began to follow the Seattle Mariners. Living in Kansas City now, I also follow the Kansas City Royals as well.
My Favorite Soccer Teams
In 2010 I was in a band and we were on tour during the men’s World Cup. One of the guitar players in my band is a huge soccer fan and he got me to watch some of the matches with him. I fell in love with soccer during that tournament. I was trying to decide what team in the Premier League to follow, and my favorite US player, Clint Dempsey, joined Tottenham Hotspur not too long after that. Gareth Bale got me to love the team with his great play. Now, living in Kansas City, I also root for the KC Current and Sporting KC.
My Favorite Football Teams
Growing up in the Bay Area in the 1980s was a great time to do so. Learning about football in the golden age of 49er football got me to fall in love with players like Jerry Rice, Joe Montana and Steve Young. Once I started dating my partner, I became a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs. The 2023 Super Bowl was pure agony for me.
