I\u2019m not some lifelong analyst or stats guru, truth being told, you\\'ve probably never heard of me!\u2014I just know how to research, write, and make things sound good. That\u2019s the job! Got into sports media the same way most people do: by (fortunate) accident. Started with SEO writing, took on a few sports gigs, and now here we are! I cover games, trades, player drama\u2014whatever needs words. Favorite part? The chaos. One day it\\'s a blockbuster trade, the next it\\'s a goat running onto the field. Never boring.
