About Jim »

I born in Madison, WI and was raised just outside the city in Cottage Grove. I graduated from Lawrence University (Appleton, WI) in June of 2009. Recently, I moved to Charlottesville, VA -- where I am currently attending graduate school at the University of Virginia.

I am also the founder of the Brewers blog Bernie's Crew, which developed a nice niche over at SportsBubbler. Be sure to stop by for daily news on the Milwaukee Brewers and their minor league affiliates.

Thanks to BR, I recently interviewed Knicks legend Earl Monroe. Here is what he had to say on a variety of topics, including the current state of the Knicks!

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.
