About chris »

If it's a sport, Chris Baldwin's covered it. Baldwin has covered four World Series, three NFC Championship Games, two NBA Finals, three Stanley Cup Finals and three U.S. Opens while on staff at publications ranging from the Asbury Park Press (N.J.) to the Lansing State Journal to WorldGolf.com. He spent several years getting paid to travel the globe and write about golf, even though Baldwin's personally one of the worst golfers in the world. Charles Barkley is his only real competition.

Throughout his journeys, Baldwin won six Associated Press Sports Editor awards, including two for column writing (he admits that even his mom does not care about this though). He hopes that you will care that he always writes the truth fearlessly - something he learned early from Michigan Journalism Hall of Famer Gloria Olman, the first and still best mentor he's ever had. Baldwin tries to bring a little humor to an increasingly self-important sports world when he can.

He's still grateful that Bill Parcells saw the humor in him staking out Parcells' Shore house for an exclusive interview when Parcells took over as HC of the NYJ. While Baldwin went to Michigan State, he figures that Nick Saban will make up for his lack of donations to the school.

Hey, my school has just started back so I hadn't found much time to write a new article in awhile. Well, here it is. This article is about Duke Basketball and their 2001 Championship run. Please check it out if you get time! Thanks!

Michael Vick is headed to Philly. The Eagles will be damn exciting as Vick gets his shot at redemption. If you have a moment, please check out my column. Thanks!

Hi Chris,

Just wanted to say I didn't intend to start a ruckus on your article "Time for Philadelphia Eagles to End Michael Vick's NFL Wait". I like McNabb. He's a good QB and a fighter. I probably should have chosen a better word than "choke".

Guess I'm still a little resentful because I was pulling for them and they lost again. And all my frustration was placed unfairly at McNabb's feet.

Hey Chris,

Would you mind if I posted some of your Eagles articles to my blog? I'll post your name, as well as provide a link to your B/R profile.

The web address is www.EaglesFever.info. I've been busy for a really long time now, and I'm trying to keep the blog regularly updated. It's hard work, and it is always a lot of help to post others' articles as well (plus, more perspective).

Come visit some time! Thanks.

More bad news for the Eagles' defense...

How do you recover from the loss of Bradley, Dawkins, and Jim Johnson?
