Leadership

By Jeff Kinch
In 2001 USC was widely vilified throughout both local and national media outlets for their hire of ex-Patriots and Jets coach Pete Carroll. It was anathema to their frustrated fan base that the administration would entrust a coach with a .500 record in the NFL and a reputation for being soft on [...]

Par for the course

This article has caught the attention of the entire world…unfortunately. There are more important things going on. But do tell me, why has it garnered so much attention (there are some obvious answers) and what are your thoughts not on what he may have alledgely done, but on how it has been covered [...]

Franchise

I grew up loving NBA basketball (less as the league began morphing into a stage for individuals and abandoning the beautiful teamwork of the great Lakers/Celtics teams of the 80s).
