This site was originally created as part of a journalism class during my senior year of college. Upon graduation, I decided to stop writing and look for a "real" job that would pay me enough money so that when I eventually create offspring, I can afford to turn them into the highly successful athletes they are destined to be (no pressure, future kids). While I have found a job, I realized that perhaps I need to stop running away from what I want to do because it is not a lucrative career. I will run no more, and so I have revamped this website and will start posting articles semi-regularly depending on my day job.
Most of my articles will be about the thing I am most passionate about in this world: SPORTS! I will try to encompass many different aspects of sports, from the boiling hot takes I have, to general analysis of the happenings in the sports world. I will TRY to remain unbiased, but I am very passionate about my St. Louis Cardinals, St. Louis Blues, and Kansas Jayhawks. And Since this is my site, I will write what I want, so all you Cubs and Mizzou fans can go away.
If I'm being completely honest with myself, I'm sure the only person who will read anything on this site is my mom, but on the off chance someone else happens about my content, I hope you enjoy it. If you don't or you think I'm being stupid, there's a good chance you are correct, but I don't care because at the very least, this will be therapeutic for me.
So without further delay, Welcome to my new website!
