Randy's Bio

I am an abstract painter. As an artist I'm used to looking at things and figuring out why they are interesting. When I watch sports I'm the type of person who looks for the greater context in which the event occurs.

The only way to truly appreciate anything is to observe it from every aspect, without any presuppositions. When I write about sports I try to be as objective as possible because I feel that true greatness lies not in perfection but in the ability to overcome flaws. When you can throw out the superlatives and hype that surround athletes you find truly incredible stories of people doing amazing things.

Hey Randy,

I just completed the second of a three part series between myself, Mike Kline and Justin McTeer, breaking down the Duke Blue Devils basketball season.

I highlight the back court of Duke and the different players that will need to contribute to the team. If you get a chance, check it out.

Feedback is always appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Randy, I need the opinion of a Broncos fan. I'm having a hard time deciding to start Steven jackson against the 49ers defense or Knowshon Moreno against Dallas' defense on my fantasy team. The 49ers have been excellent at stopping the run so far, so I'm thinking of going with Knowshon. What do you expect Knowshon's production to be like this weekend, and do you think he'll get a decent amount of carries?
