About Mikal »

What's your all-time favorite team(s)? White Sox - Bulls - Blackhawks - Bears - Jaguars - Indians

How did you become a fan? White Sox, through a good friend in 7th grade, I was always a fan. She just opened my eyes to know more about the team than the team colors and Frank Thomas. Bulls, I grew up in the 90s I am from Chicago, Jordan era...go figure. Hawks & Bears - I am just a Chicagoan.
Indians - I am female, and I am in love with Grady Sizemore. I love baseball so I learned more about the team overall. The Indians are my second favorite baseball team. Weird since I love to AL Central teams...
Jaguars - I was in 3rd grade when they became a team, and I love Jaguars. So I stuck with them after all these years.

All-time favorite sport? Baseball... I could not live without it.

Favorite player currently on the team:
Sox: Konerko and Quentin
Bulls: I guess Rose
Bears: Manning
Hawks: Toews
Indians: Sizemore
Jags: Garrard

Has your team won a championship in your lifetime?: The Bulls & White Sox have... I love it!

Where were you when it happened?: Bulls I was usually at my great grandpa's and White Sox I was in my bedroom at the corner of the TV with two of my girls...then we went cruisin and partied. I missed my first college classes ever that day because I was still drinking when it started.

Did you attend the celebration parade?: Sox yes.

Well - that sums my sports status up pretty much. I just love sports and love to write.
That's all I want, yet I am still just an Admin Assistant at a bank.

Hey Mikal,

Hockey Hall of Famer Scott Stevens' career ended kind of awkwardly. In January of 2004 he missed a few games with the flu and then was diagonsed with Post-Concussion-Syndrome and missed the rest of the season. He would never play again as a lockout wiped out the following season and then his official retirement in September of 2005. Truly one of the greats and my favorite athlete of all-time, I don't feel I have ever honored him the way he earned and I really hope I did it with this article- http://bleacherreport.com/articles/172153-scott-stevens-forever-beloved-forever-hated-and-forever-remembered

Let me know what you think if you get a chance, if not no worries.

"Peyton Manning Plays Golf | Tom Brady Watches Him" is part 2 of a continuous humor serious. Feel free to add on to the idea.
