About Steve »

Steve is an attorney in the Cleveland area and a self-proclaimed "sports junkie." He is a former high school quarterback (not a very good one) and baseball player [who continued to try to live out his glory days on the sandlots into his mid-30s until his arm nearly fell off].

Steve now lives vicariously through his 9-year old son and 19-year old daughter. He spends his free time coaching little league, reading/watching/blogging about sports, and listening to his daughter's music ( www.leahloumusic.com )

Steve is now "trapped" in his profession but would work for minimum wage if some professional sports franchise would make him their GM.

JW Nix made a great argument for the suspension of Brady Quinn. However, after I examined it, I felt that Brady Quinn needed a defense attorney.

Hey Steve,

I just completed the second of a three part series between myself, Mike Kline and Justin McTeer, breaking down the Duke Blue Devils basketball season.

I highlight the back court of Duke and the different players that will need to contribute to the team. If you get a chance, check it out.

Feedback is always appreciated. Thanks!

Heya Steve, I've just posted a new top 10 list, "If athletes were items around the house".

Who is the toilet brush, the flat screen TV, the cockroach and the Seinfeld box set?

Any feedback would be really appreciated.
