Teacher by trade, former reporter and sports lovers.
I write about most things Duke related although I will take a stab at writing about other things if the mood strikes me. I'm a Duke fan but am not blinded by my like of the team and try to stay fairly impartial. I'm the Duke Football, yes I said football, featured columnist and also write regularly for the Duke Basketball Page.
Zoubek stinks. Listen, I can wax poetic and be a gentleman and scholar more than anyone having gone to UNC as an undergrad and Cornell law...
Hey man,
Check this one out if you've got a minute!

Hi Mike,
First I just wanted to say that I truly appreciate all that you contribute to the Duke basketball community. Your leadership is well-noted, and your articles are much-needed. So thank you for that.
Just a piece of advice for you: Something BabyTate told me when I first joined B/R was that don't address users who have yet to write an article and/or are without a profile picture. If they don't have the time to contribute the B/R community in some way, then they don't deserve to have you recognize their comments which are often either irrelevant or out of line.
Take care,
Brad

Do you blame the Knicks struggles this season on Chris Duhon? See what I think.

Hey Mike,
I'd really appreciate if you could check this out.

It's a unique article about Manhattan's Devon Austin who is adjusting to his first year of pro ball in Europe and I think it speaks a lot about what these guys need to go through in order to achieve their goal of playing for a living.
Take care,
Ari

Hey Mike,
I haven't really had a lot of time to write an article lately, but this is the first of a three part series I have decided to take part. I discuss Pressure and sports and what it means for the athletes.
If you would please check it out and let me know what you think about it, I would really appreciate any feedback given. Thanks!

While I usually don't promote articles, I saw fit to promote this one. I feel people are not paying attention to what this article is about. They probably should. No matter if you are a fan of Florida or LSU, this is something you need to remember going into tomorrow night.

No problem man! Yeah, my mom went to Campbell and I don't live to far from there, so it caught me off-guard to see someone write about the Fighting Camels. The school's pretty nice, but I'm a HUGE Duke fan, as you already know. Haha. I liked the comparison between the Campbell Football program and David Cutcliffe, really interesting! With you living in Durham, are you going to the Duke/Richmond game tonight? Should be great!
