About Kevin »

My name is Kevin, and I was born in raised in San Diego, CA. I now live in the Bay Area of CA. My dad grew up in Detroit, MI, so I used to watch Michigan football all the time as a kid. I first saw Michigan play (in person) at the 1992 Rose Bowl (I was 6 years old at the time), and I have been a Michigan fan ever since.

Other than Michigan football, I am a big Chargers fan, as well as a huge Liverpool F.C. fan (random mix, I know).

I am well-versed in college football, pro football, and European football (and no, I'm not talking about NFL Europe), so I hope to make some good contributions to Bleacher Report in time.

Nice article bro. This dude has been out of football for too long. I guess it wouldn't hurt, but I hope we don't sign the kid.
