Tittle. Reporting results of local football games as a teen eventually led to credentials for three Super Bowls during a 29-year writing career in the Boston-Hartford corridor.

He's reported from such venerable venues as Yankee Stadium (old and new), Fenway Park (old, but good as new), Notre Dame Stadium, Madison Square Garden, Daytona Speedway and The Superdome.
