O'Dell's Bio

Hello All,

My name is O'Dell Isaac, but nearly everyone I know calls me Ike. I often feel like I'm swimming in a digital sea while wearing an analog life jacket, but this blogging thing is starting to grow on me.

I served as a journalist in the Navy for ten years, during which time I wrote more than 200 sports articles. As a native New Yorker, I root for the Giants, Yankees, and Knicks, in that order (for now). As you can imagine, Boston is killing me right now. The Red Sox are defending champs, the Celtics just won the title, and the Patriots will be back. The Giants are the only thing keeping me off a window ledge.

It's time to prepare the throne, the King has arrived in New York! Lebron James is set to make his only appearance this season at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks. Take a look.

Hi Ike

Are you ready to declare Mike Singletary a coaching revolution? Me neither.
