About Joshua »

I am an internet based writer that currently does most of his writing over at the www.examiner.com I have three columns over there:

http://www.examiner.com/x-19045-NFL-Draft-Examiner

http://www.examiner.com/x-1617-Detroit-NASCAR-Examiner

http://www.examiner.com/x-2566-Sports-Business-Examiner

http://myteamrivals.typepad.com/lions

For the most part I am a NASCAR guy, but I really enjoy baseball and football as well. I live in the Detroit area with my wife Kathy and our son John Robert.

Joshua,

I really thought you’d find this piece something you’d want to read on this Veteran’s Day.

Thanks,

Hello Buddy, take a look at this important article. It will most likely be my last on bleacher report. Feel free to pass it around. Thank you very much and God Bless!

The Lions face a huge foe on Sunday against the world champion, Pittsburgh Steelers. A win isn't likely, but is possible. Here's how the offense can help.

Wrote a article as we're approaching the quarterpole of the NFL (more so if you count preseason).

Which players surprised even the best of analysts?

Joshua,

I know this is a very lengthy piece, but it’s one I hope you find the time to enjoy at your leisure. It’s a fantastic biographical tribute to the greatest boxer in history, Sugar Ray Robinson. If you have the time, give it a perusal and let me know what you think.

I could care less about the Grand Am sports car series. It is semi-professional club racing.

The IRL is trying to develop the indycars of 2012/2013, but I'm very upset that they aren't releasing much information on that.

Obama believes in using NASCAR to promote American cars

But how is NASCAR helping the auto industry build the cars and trucks of 2016?
