Blogs > Burney's Bytes

Burney's Bytes will focus primarily on the local preps sports scene, but will also touch on some college and pro athletics, mostly in regards to athletes who hail and have played high school sports in Oakland County. My goal for the blog is to be conversational and anecdotal, a more relaxed and free formal take on high school athletics than you see in regular game day coverage.

OC-Style TMZ

Burney experienced some big-time sideline star-sightings over the weekend on the OC Prep football field (Paparazzi eat your hearts out!!).
First at Friday's Farmington Hills Harrison-Southfield game, I ran into current starting Michigan tight end and former Harrison SUPERSTAR, Devin Funchess. Yeah, The FUNCHISE himself. When he was with the GREEN MACHINE aka TEAM HERRINGTON, Funchess was a beast of a downfield threat on back-to-back Hawks squads that won a state title in 2010 with a perfect record and then attained a national-ranking the following year in 2011 on a team that finished the regular-season unblemished before losing to Brother Rice in the district finals
Then on Saturday night at the Birmingham Brother Rice-Novi Detroit CC game, I got to say what's up to current Green Bay Packer O-Lineman and former Rice OLD SCHOOL SIR-GRIND-A-LOT T.J. Lang. During his senior year at Brother Rice in 2004, Lang, who played on both sides of the ball, recorded 60 tackles and 9 sacks in the trenches for the Orange&Black before going on to play in college at Eastern Michigan and getting selected in the 4th rd of the 2009 NFL Draft by the PACK and winning a world-championship ring..
Wow, is my job awesome or what?
