Before I begin, I just want to thank in advance everyone who participates. It REALLY REALLY means a LOT to me <3MFK4LIFE
Hey everybody! I finally got a job (well, an internship)! I'm 17 and this internship means a lot to me because this will definitely beef up my resume for college and whatnot. My employer is Ross Porter. LA Dodger fans should know him because he was a sportscaster for them up until 2006. He's a really cool guy and I really want to help him get re-known so he can get a corporate sponsor and whatnot.
The first order of business he said is to get as many followers on facebook, twitter, tumblr, and as many hits on his website as possible so that he can show these numbers in six months to major corporations.
So, as a loyal MFK member and fellow fish enthusiast I ask all of you to please help me out by visiting his pages and becoming a follower/fan and checking out his main website.
Here's the list:

Here's a little bio if you want a quick preview:
Ross Porter is an American sportscaster.
Broadcasting career prior to the Los Angeles Dodgers
Porter was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma to Elizabeth and Ross Porter, Sr. He graduated from Shawnee High School in 1955 then went on to earn a journalism degree at the University of Oklahoma. His broadcasting career begin at age 14 when he broadcast a few innings in several games involving Shawnee's Class D baseball team, the Hawks, over KGFF, his father's radio station. Before finishing high school Porter was elevated to play-by-play man of the Shawnee Wolves' football broadcasts when the regular announcer resigned. After earning his college degree he was hired by WKY radio in Oklahoma (now KFOR-TV) in Oklahoma City. At age 24 he became the youngest recipient of the Oklahoma Sportscaster of the year. In 1966 he left for Los Angeles and subsequently spent 10 years as a sportscaster for KNBC-TV in Los Angeles. Porter also called play-by-play of NFL football and NCAA basketball for NBC Sports from 19701976, and just over a decade later he replaced Chick Hearn as the voice of UNLV Rebels athletics.
Los Angeles Dodgers career
In 1977, Porter began his first of 28 seasons broadcasting for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball. The Dodgers replaced him with former New York Yankees broadcaster Charley Steiner following the 2004 season, after denying him a contract extension.
