Michael
has been a San Antonio Spurs fan since a very young age. Allthough he attended
very few games, he always followed the Spurs and his favorite player, Sean
Elliott on the tube for many years. Growing up he always admired the guys
who were lucky enough to cover the game and gained an interest in journalism
and sports writing and never developed it until he entered college and majored
in journalism. Writing for The Ranger at San Antonio College, Michael
studied his field and developed his writing skills until he got a job at a
local newspaper in San Antonio. At first starting out as a designer and a
general assignments reporter, De Leon's dream was realized about a year into
working at the newspaper. Given the San Antonio Spurs beat, he wrote the weekly
column The Spurs Report along with player features and game recaps. Now a
graphic designer in San Marcos, TX, he still keeps
up on the Spurs and continues writing with his columns, features and articles
on ProjectSpurs and on the Four Quarters Blog. Also the webdesigner of the current
version of ProjectSpurs.
Jeff joined Project Spurs in August of 2005, and has been a key contributor for both the website and The Spurscast. Besides writing articles, Jeff produced an "On Location" podcast from within the walls of Madison Square Garden and Continental Airlines Arena bringing Project Spurs exclusive audio, video and photos from the Spurs away game against the Knicks and Nets. A first for any Spurs podcast. Currently residing in New York, Jeff holds a Bachelor's and Minor Degree from St. Mary's University and a Doctorate of Law. Growing up in San Antonio, he's been a huge Spurs fan since he was a child and has attended several Spurs away games in The Palace of Auburn Hills, in Michigan, Madison Square Garden in New York City and Continental Airlines Arena in New Jersey.
Born and raised in San Antonio, Mike grew up with the Spurs and fondly remembers the days of Ice, Captain Late and the Whopper. That long standing and deep seeded devotion makes the current era of the Spurs even more enjoyable. He lived through the dark days after the Ice Age and before the Admiral dropped anchor. He survived Rod Strickland's pass and Dennis Rodman's apathy. No one cheered louder after the Memorial Day Miracle and no one was happier when the Spurs finally broke through and won the title. He brings a unique mix of humor, passion and knowledge to the site and delights in sharing that with one and all. He is but a fan, and knows that only a true fan can truly love the game and its history. Mike started his sports journalism career as the first sports editor of the Desiree Yanes A graduate of Texas State University in San Marcos, Desiree is a recent addition to the ProjectSpurs crew. She's been submitting Spurs desktop wallpapers and graphics on a regular basis since she's joined, and has written a Fan's View column as well. You can check out a few of Desiree's desktop wallpapersin the ProjectSpurs Gallery, along with the rest of the wallpapers submtitted by the Graphic Design team.
