Strength in Numbers: Evaluating the Golden State Warriors’ social media

February 17, 2017

  Back in April of 2016, I comprised a report on the Golden State Warriors’ social media for Dr. Brown’s Media Relations class at the University of Tampa. Although a lot has changed since then (some dude named Kevin Durant is on the team nowadays), the report still has some legs when it comes to … More Strength in Numbers: Evaluating the Golden State Warriors’ social media

King Me: LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers Are Champions

June 20, 2016

I came into The Finals with the notion that the Golden State Warriors were going to dispatch the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games; not because I have an innate hatred for LeBron James spewing within me, but because of what my eyes told me. Golden State was going to be able to exhale after being … More King Me: LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers Are Champions

“Father Time” Finally Shot The Sheriff

March 22, 2016

But did it shoot the deputy? Newsflash: Peyton Manning retired a couple of weeks ago. Meaning that for the first time in over twenty years, Manning will not be a centerpiece of the public’s football-watching eye. There will be no more lovable “aw shucks” routines during post-game press conferences that captured the hearts of millions … More “Father Time” Finally Shot The Sheriff

Resisting the Fear of Failure: A Winning Strategy For The Game of Life

May 11, 2015

It was a brisk Friday morning and my dad and I were on our annual 18-hour car escapade from Tampa to New Jersey running out the clock with nothing other than talk radio (because he isn’t the only 43 year-old in the car apparently). Ironically, I selected to put on a B.S. Report in which … More Resisting the Fear of Failure: A Winning Strategy For The Game of Life

The 129th Super Bowl Preview That You Have Read This Week

January 30, 2015

The two-week circus is finally coming to an abrupt end. After today, we can all rid ourselves of the grief of having to watch another watered-down segment of SportsCenter: On the Road featuring Jay Crawford giggling uncontrollably while talking to any person that has the slightest affiliation to the state of Ohio. We can rid … More The 129th Super Bowl Preview That You Have Read This Week

5 Things to Do When She Takes You to Victoria’s Secret

March 28, 2014

Victoria’s Secret has somewhat of an invisible force field around its entrance for us guys. Whenever we are walking around a mall we always peak in to look inside (because of its unique architecture, duhh), but never dare set foot in it. That is of course until you are dragged in against your will and … More 5 Things to Do When She Takes You to Victoria’s Secret
