Is 2020 Really the Worst?

I want to be clear about one thing before I start: this is definitely not about me trying to find the beauty in an epidemic or applauding anything that has happened in 2020- it’s been a pretty rough year. With that being said, I have to ask, is 2020 really…

Ranking All 50 States

A few things before I get into the rankings. First, I have really given up on making this blog sports-centric anymore. Second, I did absolutely no research for this, just pulled up a map of the United States and went for it. …

Rating Quarantine Activities

If you thought that this was still a soccer blog, you are incredibly mistaken. Without actual soccer games happening, there’s just not much going on in the world of soccer. Sure, I could write about how the MLS is going to handle its upcoming, potentially shortened season. Sure, I could…

Staying Focused On the Positives

In times like these, as the world goes through the Bubonic Plague part II, it’s incredibly important to focus on the positives in life. For some, that’s being able to spend more time with family, for others it’s being able to relax and read that book you’ve been meaning to…

What Will I Do Without Sports (Not Tik Tok)

Two weeks ago, I wrote about what each league was doing to combat the Covid-19 pandemic. Some leagues took serious precautions while others were laughably ignorant.

Broken Promises

Every year, around this time I make the exact same promise to myself. No, my name might be Christian, but I am not talking about a Lenten promise. Sorry mom. I am talking about every year, I promise myself that this is the year that I become an MLS fan…

I’ve decided to just vibe check college basketball programs and European clubs and see whose vibes come out relatively similar. If you disagree with my takes, I don’t care, write your own frickin blog. Let’s get this over with. UNC & Barcelona Home to each sports GOAT. There was more…

Rivalries

Hi there, I’m not sure if I’ve made this clear yet so I want to do so now, I hate Duke. Well, I hate their basketball team, the school is a poor recreation of an Ivy League school that costs more than Maradona’s cocaine habit, but I don’t hate the…
