In March I tried something new by taking $5 from every tournament bracket in the Littyhoops NCAA pool and setting it aside for charity. I figured that by adding a good cause element to an otherwise borderline illegal, productivity-sucking activity it not only would justify my primal need to be the guy who does the [...]
I’m not sure the last time I’ve been as surprised by a sports event as much as I was watching Michigan Football led by Denard Robinson trounce UCONN last Saturday, 30-10. It was like learning that Brett Gardner really could hit a Home Run, Isiah resigns from the Knicks, St. John’s shooting 75% from the [...]
I’ve recently stepped into a more active management role at Sportsvite. It’s completely different than the challenges I’ve faced so far in my career and it’s starting to change my entire view of business. I know just enough to know that I’m insecure by own inexperience in management and leadership (which I’ll use interchangeable because [...]
During my senior year of college, I created a college basketball website called Littyhoops.com. This was back in the dark ages before blogs were popular so it took a considerable amount of effort to get the website up and running and then maintain it. I learned a ton about the web from the experience. One [...]
Earlier this year I hit a rough patch of reading crappy (at least to me), uninteresting books. Unsure if I should plow through it to the end or move on to the next book I usually end up procrastinating. This definitely sets me back in my ambitious quest to read every book that was ever [...]
There’s been a firestorm of emotions, opinions and reactions (including the official Littyhoops take) in response to Lebron James decision to “take his talents to South Beach” and join the Miami Heat. James signed for approximately $15 million less than the maximum NBA contract in order to team with all-stars Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. [...]
I have issues with television commercials. Most notable is that they all pretty much suck. Sure, every now and then there’s a commercial that gives me a chuckle the first time I view it. Outside of the movie “The Sandlot” though, there are very few things I want to watch repeatedly, over and over again [...]
Dear King – Congratulations on your big Decision to move down to South Beach and join the Miami Heat. To be honest, I didn’t see it coming. I guess I’m no Chris Broussard. Most people work their entire careers to retire to the sunshine state but you get to do it in the prime of [...]
I’ve just experienced one of the best days of sports fandom in my entire life. It’s one of those days that I would love to bottle up and have my kid give to me for Father’s Day in twenty years. It’s 2AM but I’m still so pumped up that I want to share it with [...]
It’s taken me awhile but I’m finally dropping my first L-Hoops podcast. The topic: The World Cup. It doesn’t take me much to be fascinated by sport. Admittedly, I’m a borderline perv when it comes to baseball, college basketball, anything fantasy, and come to think of it, just about every major sport out there (except [...]
