Let’s say there is a law firm that hires two people, one man and one woman. Both of them are offered the same contract and the same pay but for some reason the woman is being asked to do more work. The man hired doesn’t do as much as the woman does but still gets […]
Last week was the All-Star break. Usually around this time, I like to look back and reflect on what kind of season we’ve seen so far. From what I can tell, 2012 has been a very memorable year so far. If you had told me in the spring that every team in the AL East […]
I’m going to be honest from the very start, I did not watch very much of this year’s NBA finals. I could barely watch five minutes of it without feeling the urge to blow chunks. This season, ripe off a very bitter lockout, the finals came together with what I could clearly say was the […]

Being a professional athlete is a dream that most children aspire to, and I’ll be the first to admit that I was no different. I grew up watching athletes do amazing things, but I was too naïve to understand that, like in every other job, being an athlete has its good days and its bad days. […]
