THE GUY WHO LIKES SPORT

Who am I?

I'm just another guy who thinks his takes on various sports and pop culture are worth listening to. Are they? Probably not, but I need somewhere to air them. Yet another Bill Simmons impression. Anyway. I have a law degree, work a corporate job and wish there was something else that I could be doing.

This is that something.

Most of my work is on Neds!
