My employment with SBLive Sports has come to an end. To say I am completely heartbroken would be an understatement. I want to thank all the players, coaches, parents and fans who have read the stories & interacted with me. This isn't a goodbye, this is just to see you later.

It's been one of those nights on Uber and Lyft tonight, so I had to turn to the hard stuff. 🤣🤣

It's time to go play my favorite game on the 4th of July in the Akron area while driving for Uber and Lyft - "gunshot or firework?"

Hope everyone enjoys their 4th of July. As an Uber/Lyft driver, I plead with you to not be the jackass who throws fireworks in the road as cars are coming by. 🎆🎇.

I love my LGBTQ Lyft/Uber passengers. Went to a bar that has karaoke tonight. After sang, someone gave me a hug and told me it was awesome. It was one of my regular passengers from the community who I drive nearly on a weekly basis. It was one of the highlights of my night.

I was lucky enough to see Ryne Sandberg play in person thanks to having amazing parents who were willing to make a road trip to Pittsburgh in his final year. When I went to Wrigley for the first time 2 years ago, I had to find every reminder of my favorite player of all-time.

The United States is bombing the daylights out of Costa Rica right now. Guess I should be clear - this is a soccer post. #Concacaf #USA.

Also, @DaleJr talked about how great of a guy @coleswindell is. I can second that. Met Cole in the media center at the NASCAR race in Kentucky when "You Should Be Here" was a hit. He could not have been nicer or more generous with his time.

I heard @DaleJr talking on his podcast on @DirtyMoMedia about the new song from @coleswindell called "Dale Jr." so I downloaded it. I didn't expect to get chills and wipe away tears. Damn, man. What a song.

Is there a Slammy for the worst match of the year? . Because if so, the Queen of the Ring Final just clinched it. #NightOfChampions #WWE.

Deion Sanders and LaVar Ball both in Cleveland? . Their egos won't fit in that new dome in Brook Park.

From losing my job a little over a month into the season to scrambling and picking up freelance assignments throughout the year, nothing ever felt truly comfortable. It was definitely a different season than I've gotten used to over the past few years.

Now that all of my spring assignments are in and posted, I can finally officially say goodbye to the 2024-25 high school sports season. Let’s just say that this was one of the more challenging seasons I've ever had.

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense. Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the

When I got the call this morning, I was shocked. I've known Clay for a long time and he had become a friend. I'll miss the random texts asking if I'm working and if I can pick him up at the FOP Lodge to take him home. We had great conversations on those rides. RIP, my man.
