I'm a sports writer for The Journal Register Company, primarily working for The Oakland Press and Macomb Daily. I also work as a play-by-play broadcaster for Michigan Sports Radio.com, covering local high school and college sports around the state of Michigan.

Here's my reason for the negativity around Stanton: 1. I don't see him as a wasted...
Still can't beleive he threw the TD pass with his shoulder out of his socket! Kids got cojones and moxie!!!
It was really strange to see a Detroit quarterback pull that off. Not an opposing quarterback to that to the Lions. I cannot remember the last...
