Online Identity

It was very interesting looking up my online identity and seeing everything on the internet that was associated with my name.  When I searched for myself on Google, almost all of the articles had something to do with my football career.  Many of the search results pulled up interviews that I had been quoted in, statistics, and recruiting forums.  It was amusing to read all of the articles that analyzed me as a football player and just to see what people's opinions are about me.  However, I wasn't able to find any real personal information, so on a certain level that was comforting. 

I don't really use Amazon, so I wasn't able to get any recommendations. I also looked up my credit report, and although I've never knowingly had one, there were a few entries in the report that claimed I had currently active credit cards.  One was a CITI credit card that I had gotten in the mail, and the other ones were department store cards.  Luckily I had already paid everything off, and I had never really used them except for a couple of times, so my credit is still pretty good.

If the credit companies still think you have the cards you might want to call and be sure they are cancelled. There was a big scandal about that a couple of years back--identity theft is no joke, sadly.
