As part of Social Media Adventure Day, Alex and I were fortunate enough to get an inside look at the daily operations of one of Madison’s local fire stations. The newly remodeled station completely blew us away. For a good minute we weren’t even sure that we were in the correct building. Along the way, … More A Day at the Station #475DAY
It has come to my attention that our society loves the notion of classification. For us, the line can never be blurred. There is no such thing as the “grey area.” This exists pretty much everywhere. In the sports world people pretend as if they are Nellie Bly when discussing the “eliteness” of Baltimore Ravens’ quarterback … More The Great Debate
Becoming viral is something of a rather broadly unpredictable art.

Over the past several years, I have begun noticing an industry-wide flaw in the way in which sports journalists cover under-developed stories. It is not limited to a single company, but rather the entire profession has failed … More Rush to Judgment
Seth Davis is unquestionably the most fortunate man on our planet. Each and everyday he wakes up, goes to work, and makes you just a tad bit smarter. As Sports Illustrated’s lead college basketball columnist, Davis possesses about as much freedom as a seventeenth century monarch. When he writes, he does so not only to … More Man in the Mirror
I have always found the idea of a voice to be unusually ironic. Everyone has one. Yet, people struggle to use it. Today’s media strangles an unfathomable amount of power.
