About Mike »

Sophomore in college, I come from Oil City, Pennsylvania. Football is a big part of my life. In high school, I played in 9th grade. When I didn't start when I thought I should have, and because I didn't like the varsity coach, I decided not to play the following year. Instead I went to all of the games the Varsity and the JV teams had and cheered for our school. Or yelled when I thought the coach called a really dumb play. I always paid attention to the NFL. The Green Bay Packers have been my favorite football team since I was in the 2nd grade. Which at the point (I didn't know it) they had recently just won Super Bowl XXXI the previous year.

I didn't realize that becoming a Packers fan when I was 7 was going to turn into an obsession. Like mentioned before, since I was about 11 I have always paid attention to football. Then the Packers went 4-12. It was a wake up call to me. I started REALLY paying attention to football. So much that I knew what was going on not with just the Packers, but just about EVERY NFL football team.

I have changed my major to Journalism. It used to be Secondary Ed. Math. However this site has made me realize how much of a Sports Journalist I really want to be.

I couldn't possibly explaine to you how odd it is to know someone ELSE with the name Mike Craig.

I have a very close friend from here in jersey who now lives in NY by the same name......very very odd man!

Thanks for the comment!

As part of the CBS application, we were all asked to submit a number of questions that we'd ask a player from our favorite team if we ever had the opportunity to interview him, I chose Santonio Holmes, let me know what you think.

So slide shows have this odd rule where the introductory slide must be 300 characters long, so in order to save any edits, I had to make the intro at least 300 characters. Please look it over and suit it to your style and please don't take offense.
