Michael's Bio

Grew up in a Notre Dame household in Cleveland which explains all of my allegiances. Currently live on the northside of Chicago. Still awaiting that first championship for any of my teams, as I was only 5 when ND won the National Championship.

I think that college sports in general trump professional sports. Nothing tops the passion and enthusiasm of college football fans. College basketball is much more fun to watch (zone defenses, PRESSES!) than its professional counterpart. Don't get my wrong though, I love me some LeBron.

  1. Hey, I am currently trying to become a Duke Football Featured Columnist. This is something that would really mean a lot to me, so please take the time to read the article and comment on it. Tell me what you think about it, what I could change to make it better, etc. Thanks in advance!

  3. Hi Michael,
    Thanks for becoming a fan.
    Mike C.

  4. Hey Michael,

    I hope you've been enjoying the new and improved Bleacher Report—we're really happy with the feedback we've received so far.

    Just thought I'd let you know that next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements, and thus it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Michael!

  5. The other reason I like the Indians (which I didn't post) is because they're the most dangerous team WITH CHEMISTRY. Brandon Inge isn't happy on the Tigers, and there's going to be a lot of egos on that team (Willis, Sheffield, Rogers). The same can be said for the White Sox with Ozzie, but I don't see them challenging (again, as you said-injuries happen). I'm still waiting for the Tigers fans to rip my head off on this one, but thanks for the feedback.

  6. What do you think?
