About Corey »

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.

Since all else has failed, I see no reason for the Knicks not to sign Allen Iverson.

Is Ben Roethlisberger more clutch than Tom Brady and the rest of the league? I've created a new measure to test quarterback "clutchness". FInd out how Peyton Manning fairs.

Pedro Martinez's activity during All-Star week has not been the type I would have once predicted. What about you?

For the second time, I've had the privilege of interviewing an Indianapolis Colts football player.

This time I got to speak one on one with Colts' Wide Receiver, Pierre Garcon.

The exclusive interview can be read right here...
