About Michael »

I am a recent Florida State graduate and the former Editor-In-Chief of FSU's independent student newspaper. I covered the Seminoles for four years—everything from football, basketball, and baseball to golf, track and field, and lacrosse—and I enjoyed every minute of it. I also had the privilege of writing for the Tampa Tribune and the Daytona Beach News-Journal, and I am happy to continue writing and expressing my views as a member of the Bleacher Report community.

The Heisman Trophy isn't the same as it use to be. What are the faults and what can be done in order to get the bronze figurine back to where it once was?

Don't be shy!

Good to have the head man from the Flambeau at BR!

Can't wait to read more of your stuff. If you ever feel any of my pieces could use a touch up, feel free to clean up any of my pieces.

Hey Michael,

I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and 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!
