On Monday, March 21, 2022, Project Spurs founder Michael De Leon passed away at the age of 45 battling cancer. Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to Michael’s family as they go through this very difficult time in their lives.
Throughout his career, Michael helped numerous journalists get their starts in the media business, even if it meant moving on from the Project Spurs Network over time.

This was fantastic guys, thank you. I can’t express strongly enough how hard Michael (and Jeff) worked to get Project Spurs credentialed. And back then it was nearly impossible for a blogger to get credentials.
Mike busted his ass to bring the absolute best content he could to Spurs fans. He will be missed sorely and was such a selfless, genuine guy.
