About Chip »

I'm a 22 year old law student and co-writer for the 2 year old "detroit4lyfe.blogspot.com" (under the name Chip Stevenson) who cares more about big sports stories than whether a tortfeasor committed every element of an assault and battery. I'd much rather be writing up my thoughts about MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL than writing a case brief about diversity jurisdiction or whatever the hell we are studying now.

The focus of the blog and my writings is on Detroit sports, but we touch on all sorts of topics that span the sports spectrum. When something big happens in the world of sports, you can bet that we are writing our thoughts about it on the blog.

All three of the writers for the blog have some sort of a sports background that allows us to offer a unique perspective on the happenings of the sports world. I hope you enjoy the articles and continue to read as we post more in the future. Feel free to comment with criticisms, suggestions and compliments.

No problem, Jared. I do recommend making it "ESPN's Keith Law" cuz it might help your article come up in search engines, but either way I'm with you on preserving your voice. I may have misread it originally, anyway.
