About Michael »

I like sports to the point where my parents decided to spend $40,000 a year so I could learn how to write about them for a living.

I love everything from Boston and tears rolled down my face for every championship I've witnessed in my lifetime.

Along with my friend Jeremy Bernfeld, we started the website mikeandjeremylikesports.com which will be shamelessly plugged as much as possible both on this website and others.

I also write for thehoopdoctors.com, hoopsaddict.com, and blacksportsonline.com.
