Keith's Bio

Detroit Lions Community Leader on B/R
#2 ranked writer in Detroit Red Wings
#21 ranked writer in NHL

I'm an Entertainment and Sports Promotion major at Northern Michigan University where I'm a senior taking my final semester in Fall 2009

The Detroit Red Wings are my favorite team in all the land followed closely by the Michigan Wolverines and Detroit Lions. I enjoy all Detroit sports though. I grew up in Detroit and I'll stick by my teams (even the Lions) til the end.

I get inspiration from writers like Mitch Albom and Drew Sharp of the Detroit Free Press. Mickey Redmond is my favorite color commentator of all time.

I've been fortunate enough to have some of my articles syndicated so far for CBSsports.com and the Detroit Free Press.

I also now write for wolverinesgameday.com and got this position thanks to my exposure on bleacherreport.com

Mike Hart, Jake Long, Tom Brady, Pavel Datsyuk, Johan Franzen, Tayshaun Prince, Curtis Granderson, Justin Verlander
Favorite Sports Teams

Michigan Wolverines, Northern Michigan Wildcats, Detroit Red Wings, Detroit Tigers, Detroit Pistons, Detroit Lions
All Time Sports Moment

Red Wings win the cup in 1997. Michigan wins the national title in football in 1997
Most Memorable Game Attended

my first game at the Big House against Illinois. Michigan slaughtered them.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Wayne Gretzky's 92 goal season, Mike Bossy's 11 straight 50 goal seasons, Brett Farve's Iron-man streak
Ruth or Mays?

Mays. He was a more complete player, multi-tooled.
Unitas or Montana?

Montana. There's no one else you'd rather have being down in the 4th quarter
Pele or Maradona?

I don't follow soccer but I know the name Pele. He practically brought soccer to the US. Never heard of Maradona.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

definitely the Big 10. I'm biased though. As far as best conference, I've gotta go with the SEC.

Hehe, yah we're all a bit off today I would imagine (in a good way). Generally don't touch people's stuff, but figured you wouldn't mind. Doesn't seem to be much action on the boards today anyway. For some reason I thought it would be jumping!

Hey Keith, roundtable is up. Good answers, if a little pessimistic (not that I blame you). You up for doing next week's?

If the Lions are going to stay with Stafford, the offense needs to change:

Hey Keith,

I remember last season when you tried to get a round table going for the Detroit Red Wings and I was wondering if you were going to give it another shot. I think its a good idea and I would definitely participate this time around.

Here's my week two recap of the Lions' (surprisingly winnable) loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
