The first event I ever covered as a professional sportswriter was a high school football game in New Jersey years ago. I remember the game was poorly played, so that’s what I wrote about in my story. The editor asked if I could go a little easier on the guys.

Over the years, I’ve written for the Washington Post, USA Today, ESPN.com and many more newspapers, magazines and web sites. And I’ve had over 1,000 bylines and reporting credits in The New York Times covering everything from the Democratic National Convention to the Daytona 500.
