My primary expertise is the NFL, which I have covered on a full-time basis since 2005. I have an extensive background working on numerous media platforms, including newspapers, internet properties, radio and television. My work can currently be found on a variety of ESPN platforms, including ESPN.com, ESPN networks and ESPN Radio.
