Michael's Bio

I am a college football junkie, a die-hard Florida Gators fan, a casual fan of the current NBA, NFL, and MLB and I just want to get my opinions out in the open. I try to keep an open mind about the world of sports and respect other people's opinions. I may not agree with them all, but I will consider them for what they're worth.

My article "The Death of a High School Football Player" was voted as a Pick of the Day on 10/23/2008.

I am one of the B/R Florida Gators Community Leaders. Go Gators!

My gameday prediction articles have been featured on Gatortailgating.com and CollegeOTR.com.

Just a reminder that anyone can make it to the SEC Title game to face the obnoxious and annoying Tim Tebow.
