Corey's Bio

Corey McSweeney lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and bleeds the blue of the Indianapolis Colts, as well as following his family's Michigan roots in his love of the Michigan Wolverines and Detroit Pistons. Going against the grain, he also follows the Boston Red Sox.

His influences are ESPN's Bill Simmons and Rick Reilly, as well as SI's Peter King.

He loves writing for his audience and looks forward to the feedback he receives on his work.

You can leave him message on his board here or at cmac1544@yahoo.com.

He recently created a new blog, called The Summit City Report (summitcityreport.blogspot.com), which will provide for more quick hitting analysis to supplement his articles from B/R.
