Quotables
My writing and opinions have been utilized by ESPN, the New York Times, Sports Illustrated, and FOX Sports.
No less a sports writing legend than Jack McCallum who has worked the NBA beat for Sports Illustrated since 1981 and won a writing award in 2005 from the Basketball Hall of Fame cited my Don't Wanna Be Like Mike article posted on this website in a piece published at si.com in April 2009. Interestingly, McCallum wrote in his article about Jordan "I have no idea whether Jordan was encouraged by NBA commissioner David Stern to walk away from the game because his gambling habits (obsession? addiction?) were becoming increasingly troublesome." Note he doesn't deny it was a possibility (or even the truth of the matter) as most NBA worshipers normally do. He simply claims ignorance, something I can't believe given his background and high standing in the sports writing world.
Watch for my interview on ESPN.com with Page 2 writer Patrick Hruby. Hruby and I spent the day together recently as he interviewed me for his Page 2 column about sports conspiracies. Barring ESPN killing my take on the truth, the article should hit the web sometime soon...I hope...either that, or he was on some sort of ESPN fact finding mission (much like a CIA counteragent).
Richard Roeper - you know, the film critic who took over the late Gene Siskel's spot on At the Movies - published a book in 2008 titled Debunked! in which he takes a swipe at yours truly. Roeper doesn't buy into my sports conspiracy theory and attacks the original article I had published (and located on this website under NFL: Fantasy Football?) in Paranoia magazine. Perhaps had Roeper done a little more digging, he could've found this website and contacted its owner for a little deeper debate on the issue since he claims I have no "proof" to back my theories.
I was quoted twice (well, linked to twice) in an article on Cracked.com about sports conspiracy theroies. Once in the section about Michael Jordan (through ESPN's TrueHoop blog) and again in the section on the 1958 NFL Championship Game (which links to the chapter I wrote in the book The New Conspiracy Reader).
In November of 2007 I was interviewed by Greg Bishop of the New York Times regarding the Patriot's & NFL's "SpyGate" scandal. Though he questioned me for 30 minutes, only the first two sentences out of my mouth were used. Read the article here.
Also in 2007, Elliott Kalb of FOX Sports interviewed me and used parts of this website for his book The 25 Greatest Sports Conspiracy Theories of All-Time. However, in his chapter on Super Bowl III, Kalb and I did NOT have the conversation he replays in the book. Everything II "said" was actually written by me and submitted to him and did not come out of a direct conversation. Hence, I really never had a chance at a rebuttal to his counterargument which ultimately leads him to dismiss my point - one which I never had a complete chance to make. (Plus, he never sent me a free copy of his book like he had promised.)
Henry Abbott, writer of the blog TrueHoop on ESPN.com, used my Jordan article Don't Wanna Be Like Mike as the focal point of one of his posts.

Radio Interviews
I was interviewed on The Power Hour a week before Super Bowl XL. Although I incorrectly predicted the Seahawks to be given the win, I still stand by my theories.

(By the way, if while listening to this interview you're confused by "Super Bowl" Steve and the whole "Steelers winning the Super Bowl marks the beginning of the end of the world" prediction, you're not alone.)
