So I guess a reintroduction is in order.
Hi! I’m Brian!
I’m an American who commentates Aussie Rules Football and cricket, but I follow most other sports and am a lifelong Philly sports fan.
I do freelance work and love popping into podcasts to chat, so if you think I can help, let me know!

One inalienable truth about being a fan of pro sports is that the people who run it will do whatever they feel like and you, the fan, have very little say over what they do.

Welp, looks like next year will be my last as a STH. Not paying to sit in sub freezing temperatures for regular season games in November and February. ✌️

I’m excited about going to #PaxUnplugged next weekend, as I always am.
I do like skimming social media to see who else is coming. I also love seeing people be excited about coming to Philly.
(And if you’re reading this and are coming to Pax, you should say hello)

My thoughts on the Union’s playoff game being schedule for Sunday, November 23 at 7:30pm:
Me, who has had a pass for PaxUnplugged for that weekend since May, and who has been agonizing for weeks as to having to make a decision on spending the biggest day of the con at the con or at an important soccer game:

THE AFLm will add two teams to their finals (playoff) format next year, after years of talking about it.
🆕Seeds 7-10 now need to win five straight games to win the premiership.
Seeds 5-6 still need to win four in a row.
Seeds 1-4 still need to only win three & have a 1st Rd Double Chance.

Such a sad occasion, but a beautiful celebration of a life well lived. And Highway to Hell as your farewell Music! Inspired. Rest well Nestlers.
Yesterday your Guerillas gathered deep in Epping Forrest to show our love and say farewell to Nestle Boy. Rest in Peace Nestlers. Your celebration did you proud.

Post you from a different era:
That time when a bunch of nerds played touch football in Clark Park in West Philly on Sundays. October, 2008.
Also, RIP the Philly Soul.

In case anyone is still wondering how bogus privatized insurance through the workplace is: my organization is about to impose a $100/mo surcharge if we include our spouse on our plan and they’re eligible for insurance through their own place of employment.
Thats a 400% increase over a solo plan.

Saw the John Oliver piece on Police Chases and am reminded of that time my friend Jenn was killed because a man, who was high, slammed into the back of her car while being chased by the police.
Turns out they were chasing the wrong guy.
Yeah.
