NBA Bold Predictions 2016-2017

The NBA Season is less then a week a way and all basketball fans are foaming at the mouth.  Despite the fact that Kevin Durant made an attempt derail the season (no I didn’t like the move), there’s still much to look forward to.  The Cavaliers are the reigning champs and Lebron looks to have […]

Auction Draft Numero UNO

On Sunday night, August 28th, 2016, we had our annual fantasy draft for the NFL football season.  This was the 7th year of my league, so I decided to deviate from our normal course and change the format of our draft from “Snake” to “Auction”.  The more traditional “Snake” draft allows teams to pick players one […]

My Forgettable Fantasy Football Season

My 2015 NFL fantasy football season can be perfectly described as “forgettable”.  From the heartbreaking losses by hundredths of a point, to the convenient last-minute inactives, it just never seemed to be moving in a positive direction.  This year I tried a new strategy and just it didn’t go very well.  My draft was unacceptable, […]

The NYC Commute: Pt. 2 Cycling

In my efforts to be more cost-effective, I’ve turned to cycling for my daily commute.  I can avoid the ongoing expenses of the subway or gas and get a great workout at the same time.  Sounds like a good idea, right? At first, I was a bit skeptical, but it turned out to be one […]

The NYC Commute: Pt. 1 Driving

Let me get straight to the point… I dislike driving in New York City very much.  I got my driver’s license right before my 17th birthday, and obtained my first vehicle shortly after, so I have been driving for around ten years.  To school, to work, to my friend’s house, to the gym, and back […]

Quick to Forget

It’s funny how quick we forget. The 2015 NBA season just ended in June and it feels as if it has been at least 6 months since we watched the Warriors raise the trophy. That season will be remembered as the “coming out party” of Stephen Curry. Most of us knew he was really good, […]

TJ’s Week 4 NFL Picks

It’s Week 4, so we kind of have a general vision of what most teams are. There are some really interesting match-ups this week, so that means some real interesting picks. JETS(-1.5) vs. DOLPHINS I’m going to take the Jets on this game. Game is being played on a neutral field in London. I don’t have […]

The Girlfriend’s Guide to Football

Football has become very popular in the United States, both on the collegiate and the professional level.  The 2015 Super Bowl and the 2015 College Football National Championship set record-high viewing numbers at 114.4 million and 33.4 million, respectively.  The 2015 Super Bowl was actually the most watched broadcast in United States television history.  Pretty […]

96… the year I became a fan

I was an 8 year old growing up in New York City.  My mother had just remarried and we just moved into a new apartment with my stepfather.  It was June, so I was counting down the days until the end of the school year and trying to complete the classic Pokemon Red version.  My […]
