Kurt's Bio

A former journalist, I enjoy following and writing about the Detroit Tigers. I also watch the Spartans, Red Wings and Pistons, and stomach the Lions as best I can.

Hi!

Both were amazing but who was better.

The debate Greg Maddux vs Roger Clemens.

Let me know if you like it and of course feedback is always great.

Thanks

Former MLB player Eric Karros called my article into question on Colin Cowherd's ESPN Radio show yesterday.

He challenged me for a re-do: but here's my response.

I assure you, it's not just a ridiculous personal attack, but it shows that Karros was off-base with his statements.

Hey Kurt,

Kevin Youkilis set a terrible example for children and was wrong in charging a rookie pitcher.
