The Red Sox have started the 2012 season 4-10. Their pitching has been abysmal. They haven’t been able to get the timely hit. They even blew a 9-0 lead to the New York Yankees last Saturday in one of the biggest single game collapses in recent memory. Although the 2011 Red Sox started their season … Continue reading Where is the Red Sox player accountability during the 4-10 start?

Sports Media Musings: Andy Gresh Needs a Hug, Holley & Felger Crushin’ It, Minihane/RapSheet/Klosterman Deliver
Final papers in grad school are the bane of my existence. In the journalism world, they have these weird concepts called "sources" and "quotes." And you have to "attribute" everything. Right now I'm in the middle of a paper on concussions in high school athletics. You wouldn't believe it, but Athletic Directors aren't exactly excited … Continue reading Sports Media Musings: Andy Gresh Needs a Hug, Holley & Felger Crushin’ It, Minihane/RapSheet/Klosterman Deliver

Sports Media Musings: Former ESPN VP Allegedly Exposes Himself In Front of Erin Andrews, Quick Musings
One of the hardest things to do as a columnist is write a strong lede. I can't tell you how much this is stressed to me on a daily basis. Above everything else, you need to grab the audience by the collar with a strong pun that says, "Put your feet up and stay for a … Continue reading Sports Media Musings: Former ESPN VP Allegedly Exposes Himself In Front of Erin Andrews, Quick Musings
Sports Media Musings: ESPN Original Programming Wins, Media Scolds NESN, CSNNE’s Farm System, Quick Musings
Praising Rage Against The Machine ESPN gets criticized with great regularity. Much of the scrutiny is deserved. Segments like, "Who's Now" on "SportsCenter" feel forced.
