The piece was really well-received. I think it’s the balance of dry humor, real word examples and legitimate pointers that made it appeal to my audience.
Following the column, I was asked to appear on the Bryan Hayes Show on TSN 1050 (Toronto’s ESPN affiliate) to discuss the piece as well as my general thoughts on sports and social media.
