About Patrick »

Journalist living and working in Flint, Michigan. The people who have had the most influence on my life are Howard Roark, Rasheed Wallace and Larry David, so I don’t really know how that translates into a writing style. Other than that: "hard working, alpha male, jackhammer…merciless…insatiable."

I blog every day at It's Just Sports.

Patrick,.
I love that book! "I'm a panda, look it up." But, we have our own style guide on BR, and we go with no spaces here.
