Michael's Bio

I am a die-hard St. Louis fan. I follow the Cardinals, Blues, and Rams religiously. If there is a hockey game on I am watching it no matter who is playing. Sports are a big part of my life and I am training to become a sports broadcaster.

I'm back on hockey!

Please take a look at my latest article documenting Tim Thomas' rise from nothing to become one of the NHL's premier goaltenders when you get a free moment.

Thanks,
Patrick

I'm beginning the process of naming you a CL. For now though I need to really see what your made of. I understand unlike me, most people have a life away from Bleacher Report but I would love to see as much coverage of the Blues as you can do for Bleacher Report, especially with the Blues (like much of the west) battling for that all important 8th seed.
