Coaching as a Metaphor for Fatherhood
08/18/2009
I'm a freelance sportswriter, living in southern California. I am the lead writer and editor of howtowatchsports.com, a site for anybody who is better at watching sports than playing them.
My loyalties lie with underdogs, players who enjoy themselves, and coaches who tell it like it is. I also dig the Cavaliers, the 49ers, and the Angels—but much more than any team, I am a fan of the game.
I'm a junkie for statistical analysis, lists of any kind, and any discussion of a "greatest" anything.
I'm built like Nate Robinson, except without the muscles, explosive quickness, or really any athletic talent at all.
I started life as an advertising copywriter, writing ads and commercials for Nike, Sprite, and the like. Now I keep a day job to support my sportswriting habit.
I just recently had an article picked up by the L.A. Times sports blog. Rock on.

Hey Roger,
Much has been made about the amount of Urban Meyer's new contract given the current economy, but see why I think he deserves it. Thanks!

Hey,
I know you are a big NBA fan and if you are a true NBA then you know of the travesty that is currently happening in Oklahoma City. I am not talking about the Sonics moving there, I am talking about Kevin Durant being held captive on that team.
The team is stuck in a perpetual cycle of rebuilding. How are they going to resign all those high draft picks? They can’t offer everyone one of those guys over $10M a year and if they sign Durant to the max offer of $14M a year, which they’ll have to, then they cannot afford to sign a good supporting cast to help him win.
So, what I am asking for you is to come help me out with FreeDurant.com and write little posts about why it would be great for Durant to come to your city and help your team win a championship.
If you are interested go here: http://www.freedurant.com/about there is an email link on the bottom of that page.
Let’s create a storm to get Durant out of OKC to a place where he can win a championship!
And the site is going to be going through some revamp soon, just taking a while to get the graphics done.
