I'm fairly new in town. You have an interesting bio. It seems the Tigers were decent until you covered them, then they got terrible. Same with the Lions. I did a little research and found out you were all for the Lions hiring Matt Millen at the time. You can brag all you want about winning awards for this and that for small newspapers. but I've read a few of your columns and you're not very good compared to the writers where I come from.
Anonymnous,
You have a right to your opinion, but for the record I was against the Millen hiring from Day One.
