About Steve »

From the time he first put pencil to paper (OK, maybe not THAT long, but you get the idea), friends and family have always told Steve Auger “you need to write about sports.”

Why he didn’t listen to them sooner merely proves the great life axiom that everyone discovers with age. That being, young people are stupid (totally kidding…please resist the temptation to send a hate email or to leave a comment informing me that with a little bit of age, I’m still stupid).

So when Auger stumbled upon the Bleacher Report website, he decided to finally combine his love of writing and his passion for sports. He was even fortunate enough to have one of his B/R articles linked to Sports Illustrated On Campus.

In 2008, Auger completed the Journalism Certificate program at UMass-Amherst, since, you know, he figured if he’s going to write about sports, some instruction on the proper way to write might be slightly helpful. Prior to that, he earned a Certificate from the Connecticut School of Broadcasting in July 2007.

If forced to pick a favorite sport, Auger would go with college hoops every day of the week and twice on Sunday. But he also follows college pigskin and the Red Sox pretty religiously. If given one sporting wish, it would be that Andre Agassi could play forever.

In Auger's spare time, he is a workout freak and health nut (just say no to Fat America), watches re-runs of The Shield (if he was a cop, he’d be feared like Vic Mackey…but minus the corruption and murders, and such). And yes, Auger is well aware he uses a lot of parentheses.

Feel free to stop by and drop him a line or comment. He'd love to hear from you. And as always, Auger will gladly sign a colored 8" by 10" glossy for you...just ask.

And yes, he realizes that he wrote his whole bio in the third person. If you can’t find that funny, you need to learn to laugh.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Andre Agassi, David Ortiz, Jonathan Papelbon, Dave Roberts, Hakim Warrick, Lance Armstrong, Emmitt Smith
Favorite Sports Teams

Red Sox, Syracuse Orange (hoops and football), Dallas Cowboys, Celtics
Favorite Coaches

Duke - when he trained Rocky in Rocky IV, Terry Francona
All Time Sports Moment

Boston Red Sox win the 2004 World Series
Most Memorable Game Attended

2006 US Open (Agassi's last tourney). First night match of the tourney on Arthur Ashe Stadium: Andre Agassi vs. Andrei Pavel. Tied at a set a piece, Agassi was trailing 0-4 in the 3rd set when he stormed back by ripping off 5 straight games, took the 3rd set in a tie break and then rolled Pavel 6-2 in the 4th for the win. When he made that comeback in the 3rd and when he was steamrolling Pavel in the 4th, I have never witnessed a louder sporting event. An electric evening to say the least.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Dwight Evans hit a HR on the first pitch of the season in 1986. Think about it: The record can't be broken. What pitch comes before the first pitch? The record can be tied but never broken.
Ruth or Mays?

Big Papi
Unitas or Montana?

Neither
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan...keep dreaming, Kobe
Gretzky or Orr?

Orr
Pele or Maradona?

Pele
Federer or Sampras?

Federer - not as big of a serve but more weapons than Pete. And what great shot-making by Fed!
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Neither one use the "foot wedge"....I'll take my game, thank you very much!
Petty or Earnhardt?

Closet NASCAR fan...it's growing on me.
Schumacher or Senna?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

In the following order: Big East (except the new members), Pac 10, SEC & Big 12 (tied), ACC, & Big 10

Steve,

Please check out my latest article. I list an over/under prop bet for each NBA team pertaining to their respective season.

Even if you just comment with one prediction, I'll be thankful you did.

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.
