Samantha's Bio

Let's see, where to begin? I am 25 years old and grew up in a sports-crazy household. I bleed maize and blue for the Wolverines and love the Green Bay Packers. My favorite sports are definitely football, softball, hockey, and gymnastics. I just moved to Phoenix, Arizona. I currently work at Sports620 KTAR and Scottsdale Gymnastics.

The Heisman Trophy isn't the same as it use to be. What are the faults and what can be done in order to get the bronze figurine back to where it once was?

Don't be shy!

Hey!

Would you mind checking out my latest article? It talks about the 2009 super sophomores for the Ohio State buckeyes! If you're not a buckeye fan, it's an interesting read and you could extend you're knowledge on college football. Thanks!

Hey!

Have you had a chance to read my latest article on a legacy that will never be forgotten in a buckeye's heart. If you have time I'd love for you to read and comment it!

Thanks!

No article plug here, but...
How will Green Bay's defense shape up this year? Raji and Matthews will definitely help the pass rush, but what about their secondary?

After the great success of my first article about the uniform numbers 1-10, I have come back with the next installment, with the best players to wear the uniform numbers 11-20. I hope you can take a look and even comment on my choices. Thanks in advance!

Greetings Samantha -

Dropped by to check out your bio after reading your article on Manny and his suspension, see we are in agreement on a few items, such as Favre's consecutive game streak.

Congrats on your gig with KTAR, hope you are able to have great success in radio. What puzzles me is how someone who claims to bleed the Michigan colors puts a photo of herself wearing a Cal-Berkley t-shirt on their page.

Look forward to seeing you around the Bleachers - all the best!

Hey, I thought you'd like to read my take on Donald Fehr and his part in the steroids era. I'd appreciate feedback.

These articles are not to claim any direct truth, but rather, indirect truth though literary perceptions and humor.
I do however, directly opine on certain things but the intent and only intent of these articles is for the reader to ponder
the inhumanity of baseball's Steroid Era. It is a history of a soul that was filled by baseball
