For as long as I can recall, my favorite season has been Fall. While, thanks to daily heat advisories, it can be hard in this part of Texas to know when Fall arrives, after consulting a calendar I can confirm that Fall is just around the corner. Why do I love Fall? Let me count…

In a year, where I have said things I never thought I would say before, I discovered yet another example of words that would never be uttered in any other year as 2020 rolls on like a Summer battle for Lord Stanley’s Cup. Before this year, if you had told me that I would say…

If anything can be said of the 2020 sports landscape, let it be said that 2020 has been a season like no other. From fan-free stadiums and Ballparks, to playing sports in a bubble, sports fans are truly seeing things they likely never thought they would see. Of course, due to social distancing they are…

Last week I noted that many journalists are working remotely from bookcase filled mini newsrooms as a result of COVID-19.
