Craig's Bio

Being a huge city guy, I love Chicago sports. I am a diehard Cubs fan, Bears fan, and Blackhawks fan. I also enjoy watching da Bulls, but not as hardcore. I enjoy watching Chicago sports live and on TV, reading about it in online, writing about my favorite teams on B/R, and doing anything and everything that involves Chicago sports in my free time. Overall, I love any and pretty much all sports. I also enjoy the annual X-Games.

Besides sports, I really enjoy watching movies and listening to music. My favorite genres of movies are comedies and suspense, and my favorite type of music is something like indie/pop/punk/rock.

I also poses a strong interest in the comedy world, and love watching stand-up acts. Others consider me a fitness/nutrition enthusiast. Overall, I am a very laid back guy, that loves to hang out and do what ever. As far as life goals go, I hope to one day visit every baseball park, and my all time goal is to work in the Marketing Department for the Chicago Cubs.

Hey Craig,

Lou Gehrig has somehow been forgotten amongst the game’s immortals, even though he was possibly even more of a reason for the success of Ruth’s 1927 Yankees. Read about the quiet, forgotten leader of “Murderer’s Row,” Henry Lou Gehrig.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Craig. It's been awhile since I last wrote an article, so I'm trying to get this one out there a little bit. Let me know what you think about it if you get the chance. Here's the link:

Hey Craig,

Saw your name on The Hockey Writers, and wanted to share two things:

One, they are still looking for writers for a few teams, so you should totally check that out.

Two, I just got done writing my first article as the new writer for the Blackhawks over there, so you should totally check it out. Thanks!

Hey Craig,

If you get the chance, I'd love for you to check out my recent analysis on Derrek Lee's batting woes. I take an interesting perspective on the issue and offer some possible solutions, and I'd appreciate your comments and feedback very much!

You missed quite a first period by Dave Bolland and quite a bit of scoring!

They are up 4-2 which I'm sure you know now.

Go Hawks!
