MJ's Bio

The original Green Bay Packers and San Jose Sharks Community Leader was born in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, attended University Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and lives in San Francisco, California. He's been working for non-profits since 1992 and the performing arts since 1994.

Used to be a huge baseball fan, but was turned off by the imbalance of payrolls; used to be a huge basketball fan, but was turned off by an imbalance of officiating. Now it's first and foremost NFL and NHL, followed by college football, basketball, and hockey. If you belittle someone, suggest they are dumb for holding their opinion or suggest it does not belong in print, expect MJ to respond as a hockey enforcer!

Two articles from here were featured internationally, on CBSsports.com and FoxSports.com. Also a paid writer for other blogs on sports as well as social and spiritual matters...please check them out!

Finally, MJ kindly requests that you refrain from profanity on bulletin board and articles, as parents are encouraged to have their kids check out anything written.

The Short List What MJ thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

Brenden Morrow, Joe Thornton, Mike Grier, Ryan Smyth, Ian Laperriere, Chris Chelios, Jeff Garcia, Ed Reed, Aaron Kampman, and Warrick Dunn in no particular order. Had to remove Favre because of how he's strung along then bad-mouthed the Packers.
Favorite Sports Teams

Green Bay Packers, San Jose Sharks, Wisconsin Badgers--in that order.
Favorite Coaches

Vince Lombardi, Scotty Bowman, Bill Walsh, Harvey Kuehn
All Time Sports Moment

Miracle on Ice, then Packers' Superbowl XXXI victory.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Game I proposed to my wife, then Freeman's ESPY catch against the Vikings.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Favre's consecutive starts, Ripken's consecutive starts, DiMaggio's hitting streak.
Ruth or Mays?

Mays--not even close, since he was the all-around player.
Unitas or Montana?

Unitas, by one of the short hairs on his head--but I'll take Elway.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan, but I like Russell better
Gretzky or Orr?

Orr, 'cause he revloutionized the position
Pele or Maradona?

Pele since I think he'll prove to be more timeless, but admittedly I don't know much about the world's #1 sport.
Federer or Sampras?

Federer
Tiger or Nicklaus?

I HATE GOLF!
Petty or Earnhardt?

I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE AUTO-RACING!!!
Schumacher or Senna?

WHAT?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Big Ten, not because it's best athletically, but because it cares more about education than the others (also respect Pac 10).

Eric Mangini has been an utter failure in Cleveland.. A big part of that has been trying to be like his former mentor, Bill Belicheck.. Heres a message to Eric: He Will Never Be On Belichick's Level. Appreciate any feedback you can give on this piece.
