I am named after Mike Bossy.

I get that Michael/Mike is a pretty common name but my parents were stuck on a few different names, and then I was born May 1980 and Mike Bossy/The Islanders/My dad being a huge Islanders fan from their founding all the way through these more recent lean years all kind of sealed the deal.

It was never a secret or downplayed either, it was very clear I was named after him my entire life.
