I was blogging before they called it blogging. My first site, CollegeColours.com was launched in 2001. It covered CIS football and it did pretty good. But, I had to use, like, actual HTML to post and it became too much to keep up at the level I wanted it to. Eventually, I joined the blog Out of Left Field, which was a delightfully off-beat general sports blog ran by Neate Sager. That lead to my own thing, the 24thMinute, a TFC blog. That eventually was hosted on theScore (RIP) and was hitting high notes at the height of the independent sports blog era. I've done a bunch of stuff since, but that was when it was the most fun. This is my attempt to have fun at this stuff again (and it's a tip of the hat to Out of Left Field). No rules. No focus. Just a throwback to when we blogged for fun and didn't worry about the traffic.
I write professionally in a business environment now and I podcast daily on SportsPodcastingNetwork.com, but that doesn't matter here.
Here, I'm just gonna blog like it's 2009!

Sober Second Thoughts: It’s time for Canadian WoSo to evolve (or risk irrelevance)
It was a good year for women’s professional soccer.
Reach for the Podium — No simple answers to hyperandrogenism controversy
That conversation? The debate – such that it is a debate and not just two opposing sides screaming talking points at each other – is the role of hyperandrogenism in elite women’s sport.
Sober Second Thoughts: Now about the kids
The afterglow of Canada’s win over the United States is still very real. It’s going to be a while until Canadian soccer fans are going to want to be overly critical of […]
