About

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 basketball fan, but was turned off by an imbalance of officiating. Used to be a huge baseball fan, but imbalance of payrolls and steroids turned me off; thank you to the San Francisco Giants for restoring my love starting in 2009. But it's still first and foremost NFL and NHL, followed by college football, basketball, and hockey.

Three notes: I can write "we" when covering the Packers because they are MY team—I am an owner. I use Canadian spellings unless talking about American football—deal with it! And 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! It does not make me thin-skinned because I hit back.

Several articles from here were featured internationally, on CBSsports.com, FoxSports.com, and Yahoo Sports. 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.

    Packers fans are bandwagon fans

    Like I said the only reason Packer fans like the Packers is the winng, change the name of the trophy and let them have some down seasons and there will be no fans. The Packers are every dumb girls favorite team for a reason.

    Packers fans are bandwagon fans

    You are not a real fan it doesn't matter what you think, ask anyone so why do you like the Packers? They will say because they are winners. You know nothing about the last 7 years of the Raiders.

    MJ, When I watched the game Thursday I was disgusted with what Suh did and how Schwartz handled it. Schwartz should have chewed his ass on the sidelines. I knew the league would suspend him for the kick, but when I watched and read all the reactions to it and the hatred for this kid because of what he did it made me disgusted with the main stream media. Bottom line is this kids got some growing up to do and I hope he surrounds himself with people who will give him the type of support he needs to get his emotions under control. Sorry if I offended you personally.

    Either it was some harsh things I wrote against some Detroit-fans regarding them being arrogant. Or it could be what I told the fans of a boring wrestler, both items has lots of fans in the people who can delete accounts and such.
