About Adam »

I'm a proud graduate of Western Michigan University (home of the Broncos). I covered Bronco football and hockey for the Western Herald (WMU's student-run newspaper). I'm a die-hard fan of Detroit sports, most prominently the Tigers and the Lions. Generally, my favorite sport is baseball, but I really have no qualms with any sport out there. I'm even into auto racing, golf, tennis and college sports.

Right now, I'm working part-time at The Saginaw News sports desk taking phone calls, updating schedules and doing other odds and ends at the desk.

As for Bleacher Report, I wrapped up my editing internship in August and I highly recommend the experience. I'm also a featured columnist for Michigan football.

I can be reached at a2bouton@wmich.edu for further comments, inquiries or questions.

Hey Adam,

I am writing articles on the MLB 9s and I thought you'd enjoy reading the Florida Marlins piece.

It is similar to your All-Time Marlins team article that you wrote over the summer.

Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Ash

While I usually don't promote articles, I saw fit to promote this one. I feel people are not paying attention to what this article is about. They probably should. No matter if you are a fan of Florida or LSU, this is something you need to remember going into tomorrow night.

The Michigan/Notre Dame game has the feel once again of a typical rivalry game. Both teams look good last week, but see what the Irish NEED to do in order to be successful for a second Saturday in a row. Don't be shy, even you Wolverines!
