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.

Barry Sanders breaks 2000 yards (crowd goes wild), only for Reggie Brown (promising young linebacker)to break his neck later in the game (crowd in agony). Tragic, but typical of the emotional turmoil of being a Lions fan.

  1. It is great to see another GR person on here. I figured you must be a die-hard Tigers fan because you knew that was Jonesy cira 1984. Most people just figure that is me.

  2. I'm guessing you already scheduled the therapy because of the Tigers' poor start...

    Sorry, that was a low blow. I just want to get as many of them in as I can while the Sox are still in first.

  3. hahahahahaha, no worries. Unless you subconsciously found it offensive that I mixed up Chris and Jake Long!

  4. Thanks for your reading and commenting on the article.

    appreciate it!

    peace...
