David's Bio

David is a junior at Washington University in St. Louis. He grew up in Cleveland, OH raised as a Browns, Cavaliers, and Indians fan. He enjoyed the Indians' dominance of the mid-90s and is currently "Witnessing" LeBron's greatness on the Cavs. The Browns are finally back on the path to success, which gives a reason to celebrate.

David is primarily a fan of his home state college, The Ohio State Buckeyes. College Football is his passion. In an ideal world where money nor time mattered, he would tour the country like ESPN Gameday and watch a different game every week.

The best sports book David has ever read is Buzz Bissinger's "Friday Night Lights." More telling than the glamour of playing in front of 10,000 screaming fans every Friday, the book opens one's eyes to the less endearing behind-the-scenes aspects of big-time high school football. The high school football in some of these smaller cities is a way of life. The casual outsider views the players as demigods, but they are really tragic heroes, cast aside once their services have been completed. Buzz went a little crazy on Will Leitch and bloggers in general, but I still appreciate his body of work.

Will Blythe's "To Hate Like This is to be Happy Forever," a story about a man's love for UNC basketball is also a good read for the sports fan. Blythe follows Carolina's eventual National Championship season in 2005 as he interviews players, fans, coaches (including arch-nemesis Coach K), even priests to determine the root of his inner beast -- his hatred for Duke.

  9. Hey man love your articals and your spirit Go Bucks!

  10. David- No worries...everyone made nice-nice and has promised to stop the personal attacks! It's the best resolution. I guess some commentators re-read their comments and decided they were not very appropriate. Thanks.

  11. Hey...this guy Weston has made some racist comments via making fun of cultural names etc....he is offensive. Don't know what to do about it, but he's kind of obsessive. Any input by you would be appreciative...I am no longer responding to his comments.

  12. No problem David, all in a day's work.

  13. Cripes...I just addresed you as David Wunderlich in a comment...I'm so sorry...I had commented on the other David's article and had his name stuck in my mind when you made a comment on my Clausen piece. So sorry David.

  14. David...thanks for the pick of the day! Coming from you, I am humbled. Thanks!

  15. It is done! Good article by the way.
