Two years ago I set out to uncover the story behind Pro Football Focus. Where did it come from? What does it really do for NFL teams? How has it influenced the explosion of NFL analytics in the last five years? What I found was an unbelievable story amazon.com/Football-Numbers-…

Of course it has to be the two places I’ve lived

The Knicks' championship snaps a streak of 52 straight playoff appearances by MLB/NBA/NFL/NHL teams from the NYC metro area that ended without a title.
It was the 3rd-longest streak all-time by a metro area, behind only active streaks by Minneapolis-St. Paul (57) & Buffalo (55).

For both Karl-Anthony Towns… Never in your life can they tell you that you can’t do it because you did it.
This is a special one. Couldn’t love it more for Karl. He went through so much to get here

Feels the same way when you talk about any NFL player who's been injured before.
1000 people ready to scream HE HAS AN INJURY HISTORY

Can someone explain to me why there's a sect of baseball fans whose first reaction after a pitcher does something insane like Misiorowski did tonight is: Well, he's probably going to get hurt.
Why not just appreciate one of the best pitchers in the world delivering greatness?

Great way to honor Larry Sr.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with support during these past few days. Your kindness has meant so much to my family and me.
This week, we’re honoring my father’s 72nd birthday by keeping his legacy going through his passion for journalism.
In his memory, our family has started the Larry Fitzgerald Scholarship Fund with the National Association of Black Journalists to support the next generation of journalists.
