Brett Favre vs. Packers: The Revenge Factor
10/02/2009
I spent my summers playing baseball before discovering basketball. I took third in the Kingsford Punt, Pass & Kick competition when I was about 12, when all the other kids teased I was a wimp.
I eventually grew up and filled out, but my passion for sports was superceded by my desire to write. Pretty sure scoring 53 points in a men's league game was enough to impress a sports editor into giving me my first writing gig.
I find myself now a stay-at-home dad, legally blind, but a devoted fan of many sports. I write for the internet now. Don't know if I'll ever make a dime for this time consuming hobby, but living in Green Bay during this era inspires me at times to opine.
Hopefully I will evolve as a writer from my experiences as a journalist here.
I'm a graduate of Northern Michigan University with an English BA, minor in journalism. I was a radio reporter/news director for several Upper Michigan radio stations during the late 80s and early 90s. Won three state broadcasting awards working for WNMU-FM, a Public Radio station.
Worked for the Daily Press in Escanaba, Mi and earned some cash from the Milwaukee Sentinel as a stringer in my early years. I turned to television for my last job as a news assignment editor at a Green Bay station in 1997, before I gave up because of my struggles with glaucoma, the greatest challenge in my life.

Not enough traffic yet to my first article. Not sure what my next writing should be about. Waiting for inspiration again, I guess. Like...kids going back to school.

DeleteAn Article/rant that was sparked by ongoing revelations thanks to the USA today. you don't have to agree with me and I'll probably alienate myself a bit in the College sports section of Bleacher, but this is an important subject. Please support when you have some free time, Thanks, Ray!
