Daniel's Bio

Born and raised in Grand Rapids Michigan, I grew up a fierce Detroit and Michigan State sports fan. Part of this was induced because of my environment (my family supported those teams), but I always tended to be little more geared up for a game, more elated in victory, and more devastated in defeat. And because I often rooted for losing teams (Football in particular), I was able to develop a fairly unbiased eye in evaluating them. It doesn't make you any less of a fan if you're able to admit that your team needs to work on some things, that it's not always the refs, that the other team didn't play dirty, that sport is just sport after all. This doesn't make you less passionate, only more reasonable. My life and work have taken me far away from Michigan over the years, and though I've gone to college at different schools, and resided in different geographies, I still remain fervently true to my roots. I've never gotten too excited about any other teams. Call it some crazy loyalty complex.

    The mainstream does occasionally have its merits, I'll admit that much...and eight gold medals is one heckuva lot of gold medals. Thanks again for the thoughtful rebuttal.

    Detroit Lions...great uniforms btw...what is up with that team? why has it been like this for sooo long?

    Personally, I have no team now so I'd like to see the Lions and the Cards and teams like that in the playoffs once in a while.

    Let me know if you decide to.

    I wrote a comment on your article in which I gave steps on how to add hyperlinks. Give it a whirl when you have a chance and let me know if you hit any snags.

    Thanks again for the great laugh Daniel!

    Alright, you get a laugh on that one.

    But how can one laugh when poor Alicia is probably losing sleep so bad right now... she is so damn cute, I hate to think of her all depressed.
