Back during the World Cup, in addition to all of the articles and podcasts and events hosted, I made a World Cup wall chart that proved pretty popular with the kids on the internet. Some printed it out the bracket and pasted it up on their cubicle walls. Others went and hung them on their refrigerators. One guy […]

This is a short excerpt from my first featured post for Football Golazo, the new football site brought to you by UK-based journalist Kristian Sturt (@FootieWriter). To read it in it’s entirety, please click here or click the link at the end of the post. For years, Americans have predicted American football’s long awaited arrival in the mainstream. But the metrics by […]

The waiting game when publishing articles for other sites can be excruciating. I’ve got an article that I finished for one a few days ago, and I don’t know when it will go up. It might be tempting to reach out to the editor of that site and ask when it might go up. But as […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 10
I’ll tell you what: there was no short supply of footie talk about in the latest rendition of the WSOTP Podcast. The return of the Premier League had everyone elated, and the guys provided a rundown of all of the highs and lows from the weekend action. Stateside, the rapidly solidifying MLS playoff picture provided ample talking points, as […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 9
Just because we’re in the middle of yet another international break that’s forced another short sabbatical of the European club game, there was still ample subject matter for Jeremy and D.J. to discuss to warrant another edition of the WSOTP Podcast. So what’s on deck for this week’s episode? The guys spend considerable time chatting about Landon Donovan’s penultimate […]
renewed crew
In the world of American professional sports, fresh starts aren’t exactly what I would call “rare”. Nary a year passes without some team in any of the major leagues — MLB, NBA, NFL or NHL for those who don’t follow other sports — revamping their logo, changing their name, modifying their colors, or even moving cities. It’s a never-ending […]

With tomorrow being the final chapter in Landon Donovan’s US national team book — at least from a playing perspective — many in the sphere of American soccer are busy peddling homages to the man’s career. I’m certainly guilty of it too, though I wrote mine back in August. I had contemplated making this latest edition of TWOL […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 8
This week’s episode is something of a surprise milestone for the WSOTP Podcast — this is our 50th overall episode! Since neither D.J. or Jeremy remembered that fact until they sat down to record Sunday night, we don’t have anything too special planned for the occasion. Luckily, we get to celebrate by talking about the epic Wenger-Mourinho […]
goodnight, sweet princes
It’s a weird feeling knowing they are going away forever, isn’t it? After all, I’ve known the trio for just shy of nineteen years now. There aren’t many who have been in my life that long. If memory serves me correctly, we were first introduced by former Columbus mayor Greg Lashutka way, way back on October 19th, 1995. And […]
WSOTP pod: season 2 episode 7
We’ve got yet another full podcast for you this week thanks to a jam-packed weekend of action around the world of football. On the top of our minds was “Derby Saturdray” featuring the North London and Merseyside grudge matches, along with an interesting round of fixtures in the rest of the Premier League. We’ve also […]
