This website was created in October 2002 in an effort to create a forum for opinions to be expressed about various sports topics in a different and humourous light....although whether the material is actually funny can be debated. The goal from the beginning was to present topics from a unique perspective. Readers can debate the validity of the opinions but can at least count on and appreciate a fresh and unique perspective. 

Keep checking in as the site will continue to evolve over time.

 

I'm a freelance sports writer and creator of FourSport.ca and the Sports Business blog, Selling the Game. Published articles of mine have appeared in Urban Male Magazine (UMM) and TORO Magazine and my work has been featured on Hockey Night in Canada (HNIC), TSN.ca, The Economic Times - India, and the Ottawa Citizen. Additionally I have a Bachelor of Commerce in Business with a specialty in Marketing, which explains my interest in Sports Business.

Like FedEx I hope to absolutely, positively deliver in everything I write.

Hope you enjoy the read,

Writing often comes from experience. While my personal writing style seems to border around a Sarterian philosophical position tinged with an intellectual bent, it also arises out of the experience of participating and coaching in sports, and experiencing major sporting events first-hand.

As Special Contributor, (what I believe to be a promotion from the position of East Coast Correspondent, but I could be mistaken), I have had the opportunity to witness several major events, from the 2003 World Junior Hockey Final, to Sidney Crosby's first game at the Halifax Metro Centre, to consecutive St. Mary University football championships, and the Elite Eight CIS Basketball Championship. In addition, I have had the privilege to play and coach at the provincial level, (soccer and hockey respectively). I think being a fan, a player and a coach, (as well as spending time at Carleton's School of Journalism) gives me a unique perspective on sporting events.

When not attending events, I have the luxury of being the reigning Fantasy Source guru. As such, my duties include spotlighting certain players, analyzing different positions, and interpreting the impact of individual statistics on team sports. The increasing popularity of pools, formerly rotisseries, allows the Fantasy Source to make an important contribution to the sporting literature.

Usually people don’t like my opinion. But now I’ve been given a golden opportunity to give it to you anyways and tell you what’s right and wrong with the sports industry…. mostly what’s wrong. I’ve had a chance to see a little bit of the world so I hope to give you some insight into other types of sports that we don’t hear about or see on the 11pm highlight reel. I’ll also give you my two cents into what’s happening at home and while it might be a little controversial at least it may get you thinking. And no one said thinking was a bad thing.

The topics I'll cover will differ…. ranging anywhere from sports in the tiny African nation of Uganda to a maddening game called Hurling in Ireland. I’ll mix it up a bit and keep things interesting. 

So yeah compliments and suggestions are always welcome and criticisms…… you know where you can put them. 

Enjoy,
