Hello SPortz Fans!!!
The SPortz Yak is BACK, and writing for you again!
I want to take a moment, just to say Thanks! Thank You, to anyone out there, who has followed The SPortz Yak in the past. I was always, and still remain, truly Grateful for your support.
For lack of a better explanation, I think I've been trying to find myself. Trying to perfect my craft, if you will. I have ultimately decided, I can only improve if I keep writing, and keep putting it out there every day for you. As a hitting instructor, http://www.stlouisbandits.org, I tell my kids, "The best way to have success, the best way to become better hitters, is to hit, hit, and keep hitting. Then, hit some more." Logic has finally convinced me, the same must be true for writing.
It is not an exact science, and I'm no expert. I do, very much enjoy writing, especially about sports. Sports in this town, are a huge part of who I am, and who I have always been, long before I had the honor to wear the birds on the bat across my chest, for 3 seasons. Like all of you, I live and die with our St. Louis teams, and I love sharing thoughts and ideas on the #Cards, #Blues, #Rams, #Mizzou Tigers, #SLU, even #MMA, with my family, friends, and all of my fellow St. Louis SPortz Fans out there.
I am definitely a "Homer," when it comes to St. Louis sports, but I try to always be fair, and honest. If it's good, I love to say it's good. If it's not so good, I don't mind saying that either. Then share my perspective, about why it's not so good. I know some of you will disagree, and I encourage you to disagree. That leads to healthy debates. The truth is, I simply appreciate you taking the time to read my work, and hope you enjoy what you're reading, even if you disagree.
In addition to re-kindling my affair with sports writing, I have also been very fortunate recently, to have a new opportunity in Radio. Thanks to my friend, +Steve Runge, I've been doing some game analysis with him, on AM1280 KYRO, www.westplexnewstalk.com, while he calls Troy Trojans football games. Last week, in his absence, I was blessed with the chance to finally call my first game. There isn't even time to explain how much fun that was, and I look forward to the next shot, when it presents itself. I don't know how I sounded, and I don't even care. I was more concerned with just getting through it. Mission Accomplished!
It has been a long and bumpy road. A lot of it is still under construction, so we simply proceed with caution, try to avoid the potholes, and continue to move things forward. I'm so happy for every new opportunity, and I believe there will be more on the horizon, if I keep working.
With that, I am very proud to re-launch, The SPortz Yak. With your support and feedback, I plan to keep this ship afloat, and there is plenty of room for new passengers.
Welcome Aboard.
