At school, I would read the City pages before I read the sports pages.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up reading the newspapers, mostly the sports section. I was a wrestler and would check to see if I was ranked.
In the morning, I reach for the sports page.
I played sports growing up in high school.
I began learning the sportswriting business very early in life.
I'm interested in all kinds of sports. I'll glance at the front page and then go straight to sports and then I'll come back to the rest of the paper.
I never thought I'd make the pages of 'Sports Illustrated', because I've always been skinny.
In any small town, sports are really important to the high school, and I wasn't very good at sports.
You can't just buy the sports section of 'The New York Times.' You take the whole paper.
Even as a little kid, I was fascinated by newspapers and magazines. They were my TV. I'd be the first one up to grab the morning paper, mainly to look at the sports pictures, the war pictures.
If I'd had the chance, I'd like to have completed my degree before going full-time, and sports journalism was something that always interested me. Dad used to buy a paper, and I always turned straight to the sports pages.
