About

My name is Mike Chiari. I'm 23 years old and I graduated from Buffalo State College in four years with my bachelor's degree in journalism in the spring. I previously graduated from Depew High School in Depew, NY; a suburb of Buffalo.

While attending Buff State I wrote for the school's student-run newspaper, The Record, for two years. I wore many hats in the sports section of the paper, working as a staff writer, associate editor and editor. During that time I covered a multitude of sports, including the men's basketball and football teams.

    Mike, who do you think was the biggest/most popular superstar in WWE between Jeff Hardy, Cena, Punk, Orton & Edge? Hope you respond.

    Hey Mike, just wanted to get your thoughts on some things, first of all do you think WWE will ever bring back brand separation? I for one miss the draft, it made things way more exciting. Second, do you think they could change smackdown to thursdays and make it live instead of taped? Last but not least when, if ever, do you think the pg era will end? I feel like if they did all 3 of those things along with bringing up fresh new talent like they've been doing then things would be so much better.

    Hey, Mike. I just wanted to apologize for a mistake I made in my editing feedback earlier today. You're good with including the links to your radio show, Twitter, etc. My fault on that one.

    Great job on the article, also. I look forward to reading more of your work.

    I was Tiger Woods Player Escort at TPC this year and the reports that are out are incorrect. The HOLE MARSHALL that claims Tiger Lied is the Liar. As always we let our players know what is going on when they find them self of the course due to a missed shot. Tiger was CLEARLY told that Sergio had hit by myself and the Other Player Escort.

    Not sure why people who were not in the immediate area feel the need to make false statments. There is enough drama in the world stop creating more!! I have been escorting Tiger for 3 years and this by far is the craziest story i have heard to date.

    Your article on Belichek hating Tebow was unresearched, rumor garbage based on supposed "sources". Stick to what you know: lame, rehearsed, oiled up men rubbing all over each other in a square all night
