Biography
I'm coming up on 40 years as a sportswriter, all in Pennsylvania, with the Lebanon Daily News, Harrisburg Patriot-News (PennLive.com), and since late 1997 with Lancaster Newspapers/LNP Media Group. I also co-host a podcast, "After the Buzzer,'' (https://admin5.podbean.com/afterbuzz/episodes/list) with Gordie Jones. In 2013 I published a book. "Best Game Ever,'' (https://www.amazon.com/Best-Game-Ever-Mike-Gross/dp/0615891012/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Best+Game+Ever+Mike+Gross&qid=1646699358&sr=8-1) which is, as the title suggests, about the best game I've ever seen. I've hosted a talk radio show, done game color commentary on radio, and freelanced for a variety of publications. I'm a member of the FWAA and a Heisman Trophy voter, and I coordinate the nominations and voting for all-state high school boys' basketball in Pa. Awards: 11 Keystones, which are given by the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association, the first for a game story on the 1983 World Series, and a couple AP Managing Editors' awards. In addition to the '83 World Series, I've covered two Rose Bowls, the Orange, Cotton and Fiesta Bowls, the Big Ten championship game, dozens of NCAA basketball tournament games, golf majors including eight U.S. Opens and numerous state and regional high school championships. I've written a column, at least weekly, for most of the past 35 years. For the past 17 years my main focus has been Penn State football, a huge deal in our part of the world. That included the Sandusky scandal, which for a time was perhaps the biggest news story in the world.
