My Sports Blog

Not only am I a sport management professor, I am also a sport fan. On occasion, I enjoy writing in a less rigorous format than is necessary for academic publication. From the site menu, you can read my sports blog. I generally write from two different perspectives. Some of my posts will be from the perspective of a sport fan. These skew heavily towards my New England roots. Other posts will apply a managerial perspective towards sport, focusing more on sport business.

Please note that my blog represents my thoughts and opinions, and may not reflect those of my employer or the sport community at large. While you are welcome to read my sports blog, please do not consider my posts to be authoritative.  

Thank you for visiting!
