McCormick, Sean
Birthplace: Winnipeg, MB
Birthdate: January 9, 1974
First media job: 1996, CTV Yorkton, Saskatchewan
Career highlight: Nearly getting mugged in Atlanta, and living to tell the story
Special interests/hobbies: Old-school 'metal, tropical fish, golf

Bio in Sean's own words: I've always admired broadcasters that bring a little something extra to the table that separates them from the pack - an edge - without sacrificing their natural personality in the process. It's a philosophy I've tried to pattern my own career after. Unfortunately, it's landed me in hot water more times than I care to remember over the course of my eight years in television, but I figure it's better to get lost in "letters on file" than lost in "the shuffle".

I've lived in every province west of Quebec at least twice in my life, each stop providing a unique perspective on Canada and Canadian sports. That's part of what makes it especially nice to work for a regional sports network like Sportsnet, catering to the diverse sporting loyalties of this great country. Whether it's discussing The West Coast Express, The Battle of Alberta, or Leaf Nation, I hope my personal experience as both a broadcaster and fan can add to the casual conversation (or profanity-laced debate). Either way, I love my job.

In my spare time I pretend to enjoy golf, but I generally score far better playing the sport on Xbox than on Poanna fairways… I'm a big fan of old school metal (Crue, Maiden etc.) ... my fish love it when I crank the Metal (really, they do).

Long overdue
Vernon Wells has missed 50 games due to injury this year. That's enough to not only heal his many wounds, but enough to also get a fairly accurate gauge on his value to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Don't throw stones
The Dominican Republic is a beautiful place to visit. But the affluence inside the walls of the all-inclusive superclubs flies in stark contrast to the harsh reality that exists outside of them. Poverty, hunger, and despair dominate a landscape bordered by one of the most violent societies in the northern hemisphere - Haiti.
