About Craig »

I'm a lifetime sports junkie from Louisville, Kentucky, who spends a fair portion of the year in New England as a student at Boston University. I have always seen sports as an outlet for true passion and as a grand stage for true artistry at its finest.

Hey Craig

The Raptors have made another move however, I don’t agree with this one!
Here’s my take on the player they should have acquired Jodie Meeks.
Comments and critiques are always welcomed

Hey there!
Today, I go back in time ten years ago in which the All Star Game was celebrated at Fenway Park in Boston. Arguably the most emotional All Star Game of all time as we celebrated a legend in Ted Williams who would not be with us much longer. But throughout the game, Williams' farewell had truly inspired the AL to win this game. Take a look back as I run down this historic game
