About Me

A MacGuffin is a term coined by Alfred Hitchcock to describe a plot device that props up a movie or story, even though we discover later on that it lacks the importance we thought it had in the overall scheme of things. This is the role that professional and college sports play in our lives when we really think about it.

The MacGuffin Sports Report probes into the odd juxtaposition of sports and our society and the sometimes absurd priority it has in American culture.

The MacGuffin Sports Report is written by someone who thought of himself as more or less of a journalist from the day he could grip the tabloid sheets of the Rocky Mountain News (R.I.P.) as a youngster.

Since then, my journey in journalism has put my face on television, my voice across the radio and my byline in the dried ink of several newspapers. You name it, I've covered it — politics, sports, crime, business, entertainment, culture, features and literature.
