He previously spent more than three decades covering high school sports and worked as a beat writer covering Big East football and basketball, but NASCAR is now where the true expertise falls.\r\n\r\nJohn is a member of the New York State Basketball Hall of Fame (2013), the President of the New York State Sportswriters Association, and a two-time Best of Gannett winner for print and online collaborations whose work has appeared on FoxSports.com and MaxPreps.com.<\/span>\n \n Full Profile<\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Off the clock, he's a Kansas City Chiefs fan and a hockey goalie.\r\n\r\nGrowing up loving Shaquille O'Neal<\/a> and reading everything he could about the great big men throughout NBA history \u2014 likely because he was still tall enough, at least relative to his peers, to play center \u2014 he's continued to love learning about and exploring the historical and story-based sides of the basketball archives.\r\n\r\nAs for Arsenal, Joe spent a year living in London and latched onto the local support of the club. He's barely missed a match since, loving Arsene Wenger, enduring the Banter Era, and following along through rebuilds. The Premier League interest developed into a passionate following of the Champions League, Europe's big five league, and international soccer as a whole when played at the highest level.\r\n\r\nRegardless of the sport, Joe is captivated by the stories of athletes beyond the box scores and how they push the envelope \u2014 both in terms of what we think a human is capable of accomplishing and how they find new competitive tactics to win.<\/span>\n \n Full Profile<\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
