I live in Los Angeles, so that makes me (and several million other people) uniquely qualified to discuss what it’s like to live in Los Angeles. I’ve also lived in Los Angeles for three years, so that...
View ArticleWhat’s your favorite Rockies memory?
I did kind of a fun post over at PurpleRow.com earlier this week, looking at some of the best memories in Rockies history. Granted, it’s not a long history, and also there’s the fact that the team...
View ArticleYour LinkedIn profile is awful
A former college classmate tried to connect with me on LinkedIn last week. I didn’t accept his connection. It’s not because I’m anti-social. I mean, I am anti-social, but I didn’t deny him for that. I...
View ArticleThe Kardashianization of sports media
I wrote a piece for PurpleRow.com last week that was pretty short and relatively benign, but it’s something I really like and I think it’s a media-related topic that’s really important (you know, for...

View ArticleMore free agent pitchers, more of the same
Free agent pitchers. The Colorado Rockies really (REALLY) need some help, and it’s probably going to come in 2016 from some combination of free agent pitchers. Some of those guys might be one year...
View ArticleAnother day, another pitcher (ad nauseam)
Hey, let’s talk about ANOTHER PITCHER in the ongoing series I’m spearheading for Purple Row about free agents that the Colorado Rockies could/should/would/might attract this winter! Obviously, things...
View ArticleHere is how to use Twitter

The first major thing I did with the guys over at Purple Row when I joined their staff was the Ranking the Rockies series. In case you couldn’t tell, we ranked the Rockies in that series! So I thought...
