About

I'm a lifelong Tiger fan who's been writing about the Tigers since the beginning - yes, the beginning - of the 2006 season. For the past three seasons, I've been focusing on the Tigers' minor league system at my blog, Take 75 North, but am looking forward to chipping in some thoughts about the big boys.

When I have to pretend I'm a grown up, I live in Toledo with my lovely wife and make a living as a city planner.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Curtis Granderson, Barry Sanders, Joe Dumars

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Detroit Tigers...I'm told there are others but I don't really care

  • Favorite Coaches

    Chuck Daly

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    It's got to be Magglio Ordonez's home run in the 2006 ALCS.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    That's a close one between clinching the Yankees series in 2006 and the last game at Tiger Stadium.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Cy Young's wins. It's ridiculous because the game has changed so much, but nobody's touching that.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ruth

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Who?

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Aren't there like three of each?

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Honestly don't know who this is referring to.

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    I'm not a fan of the SEC; they really dropped the ball in the credit crisis.

    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.
