About Mark »

I'm a college student trying to make it in sports writing.

I come from the un-inhabited place of Wyoming. Despite being in a state that is not known for any real sporting acheviments, I still enjoy sports very much.

I love to write,and just recently came to the world of journalism, and love to write articles. I came to Bleacher Report for the hotly debated CBSSports.com NFL correspondent contest. I didn't get the job which is fine with me, because I want to finish college first. I'm very happy that I came to Bleacher Report and hope to use it to all its and my potential.

I'm a big fan of NFL, NASCAR, MLB, and NHL. Mostly I'll write articles on the NFL (mostly the Broncos or Panthers, but I might talk about other teams here and there) and NASCAR.

I want to think all the editors of all my works past and present, you help out a lot, if it wasn't for the great editors here, i'm afraid to see the comments i would get.

Fun Trivia: I was related to Jeff Gordon, but then he got a divorce from his first wife thus ending the realtionship between us. (Its ok though i think we were like 8th or some big number cousions)

I graduated from the same high school and same year as Chicago Bull James Johnson, and he used to live down the street from me, and he beat me in a ton of games of HORSE. .

    Mark Schafer commented on Jim (Not So) Dandy: NASCAR Champ Jimmie Johnson Is Not a Great Driver

    Nice read here David. I think that if Jimmie Johnson were not with Hendricks and Knaus then he would virtually be un-heard of, maybe he'd be...
