Week 9 Newsletter: Monsters of the Midseason
Happy Halloween, motherfuckers! For those who don’t know (or forgot), Halloween is my second-favorite holiday of the year, only trailing the 4th of July. Even though I’ll be sleeping while the trick-or-treating and partying goes down, I’ve still enjoyed the fun, spirit, and candy that Halloween has to offer. Even though Halloween was the obvious…

Week 8 Newsletter: Glory, Glory Sacramento!
(2024 edit: I have rarely felt physical pain while reading something I wrote in the past. This is one of those times. Sacramento deserves an MLS team. Fuck Ron Burkle.) I still can’t fucking believe this happened. After years and years of waiting, being strung along and passed up for other cities, Sacramento was finally,…

Week 7 Newsletter: Till Death Do Us Part
According to multiple wedding-related websites, Saturday, October 19 is the most popular date for weddings in 2019. It’s fitting that the first wedding I’m in is coming on that exact date. Out good buddy (and my first ever roommate) is tying the knot on Saturday, and we could not be happier for him. If yesterday’s rehearsal is…

Week 6 Newsletter: The Points Don’t Matter
Something happened a week ago that was utterly amazing, but not in time for me to squeeze into the last newsletter. On a rare day where I was in the control room for our 7 a.m. show, we happened to have a couple guests promoting their comedy show. One was Asad Mecci, a quite funny…

Week 5 Newsletter: Cold and Spicy
We’re in October now. Crazy, right? We’re a quarter of the way through the NFL regular season, Halloween candy is lining store shelves, and people are already talking about Thanksgiving. Where the hell did summer go? It was just 100 degrees like a week or two ago! Now I actually have to put on a…

Week 4 Newsletter: Everybody Trade Everybody
So Ewing, Jimmy, Chriss, and I went to Sin City over the weekend for Emilio’s bachelor party. It’s cliche for a reason, but yeah… what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. I think at least two of us are still hung over. (cue theme music) RECAP OF LAST WEEK ORCHIDS OF ASIA (2-1) DEF. DARTH RAIDER (2-1) 131.54 – 84.26 I thought I…

Week 3 Newsletter: Vegas, baby — Vegas!
Good morning, everyone! You might be wondering why the hell I sent this out so early. Well, the answer is simple, and it’s the same as the reason why this might be my last correspondence.I — along with Jimmy, Ewing, and Chriss — are going to Las Vegas for an extended weekend. For those of…

Week 2 Newsletter: Getting Jiggy With It
On June 9, something I’d wanted for most of my life finally happened: I saw a game at Fenway Park. I’ll spare you yet another retread and instead say something about what happened before Dad and I got to the ball park. I, being the one driving from our AirBNB in Brewster to Boston, happened…

Week 1 Newsletter: Go F@#K yourself, Epic League
Okay, now we’ve made it! Welcome back to football, boys! Week 1 of the NFL season and of this year’s Epic League of Epic Epicness kicks off tonight with Bears-Packers, which I will probably be forced to sleep through because Satan made my schedule. Whenever I want to do normal things like watch sports or…

Week -1 Newsletter: The Legend of Preseason
Welcome back to football! Well… almost. Obviously, the season hasn’t started yet any won’t for a couple more weeks. However, because we had our draft a little bit earlier than normal, saving the draft recap for another three weeks wouldn’t be too timely. Plus, that would make the newsletter incredibly massive and I don’t want…
