Free Press sports columnist Drew Sharp, a native Detroiter, pulls no punches in praising and pummeling his hometown teams. Says Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo: "Drew Sharp and I don't always agree, but I have the utmost respect for him as one of the best columnists in the country. You have to have passion, insight and a great work ethic, and Drew possesses all three. He's unafraid to tell you what he thinks."
