I have good news! It's Apple fault.

"Wait, WHAT?!"

It's true. Here's my column on Voltage Live to show your friends the proof!

I have to thank Henry Palattella for allowing me to contribute a piece to Fansided's Cleveland Guardians site, Away Back Gone.

For anyone working in sports media/aspiring to (ESPECIALLY MY MALE COLLEAGUES), stop scrolling now‼️‼️‼️‼️

This is not okay. It's disgusting. We all know that if the roles were reversed and a female reporter tried this, she would be fired instantly.

Matthew Chalkwater (North Olmsted, 165) went 1-1 yesterday and won his match to place earlier today at the #OHSAA Division I State Wrestling Tournament.

A win tonight guarantees him no worse than sixth on the podium. A loss puts him in the 7th place match tomorrow morning.

I posted this across my other socials yesterday, but nearly eight years ago on Feb 27, 2017, I finally cracked the varsity baseball roster as a senior.

I was cut three times. I hope this can help anyone going through tryouts right now.
