So I guess a reintroduction is in order.
Hi! I’m Brian!
I’m an American who commentates Aussie Rules Football and cricket, but I follow most other sports and am a lifelong Philly sports fan.
I do freelance work and love popping into podcasts to chat, so if you think I can help, let me know!

13-12 is not a football score. It’s a lacrosse score. And let me tell you, the Wings beating the Bandits 13-12 would’ve been more interesting than whatever the hell that was.

We went to a local game score and played a game from their demo shelf. My nephews picked out Tapestry. “This rulebook is only four pages long and it says 90-120 minutes!”
Reader, from the time we opened the box to the end of the game, it was four hours.
(And I came last)
Woof.

We’re visiting my in-laws in Virginia for the holiday and we’re staying at the house of a friend of theirs.
The house is lovely but the decor is… interesting.
