Before joining Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, Wulf worked for numerous publications, including The Evening Sun in Norwich, New York, Sports Illustrated, Entertainment Weekly, The Economist, and Time. After graduating from Hamilton, Wulf climbed into his "69 Chevy Malibu and visited every newspaper in the Northeast until he found a job.
Steve Wulf found his first job at the The Evening Sun, a local newspaper in Norwich, New New York As Wulf once recalled in a story he wrote for Sports Illustrated, he spent "15 months as a—no—the sportswriter for The Evening Sun." In one particularly humorous moment during the slow summer months, Wulf once quoted himself in the recap of a local softball game.
After a 29-5 victory, Wulf was the only player to go hitless and, having no choice but to interview the player, he "quoted" him as saying, "I went through a two-game batting slump in one night. But I think that I, more than anyone, was responsible for keeping the score down." After leaving Norwich, Wulf migrated south and worked for the Fort Lauderdale News as its horse-racing writer
He later did free-lance work for newspapers in Boston before becoming a fact-checker at Sports Illustrated. He worked his way up to becoming a staff writer, and then later moved to Time Magazine.
When Entertainment and Sports Programming Network decided to start its own magazine, Wulf left Time to become one of Entertainment and Sports Programming Network The Magazine"s original editors.
Michael Jordan article In March 1994, Wulf wrote an article about Michael Jordan"s minor-league-baseball career, which was featured on the cover with the headline "Bag lieutenant Michael". Due to the incendiary headline, Jordan cut off official communication with Sports Illustrated and his silence continues to this day. 30 for 30 Wulf also appeared numerous times in 30 for 30, a documentary series on Entertainment and Sports Programming Network television
He was interviewed for Silly Little Game, a documentary about the genesis of rotisserie league baseball, as well as Jordan Rides the Business.
In Jordan, Wulf recounts his controversial Sports Illustrated article about Michael"s attempt to play baseball. He admits to being too critical of Jordan, but also reveals that he visited the legendary basketball player a second time and wrote a story about how he was showing signs of major-league potential.
Sports Illustrated did not run the second story. Steve Wulf has been married to Jane Wulf since October, 1984.
They have two sons, Bo and John, as well as twin daughters, Eve and Elizabeth.
