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!

2. I’m calling for a total and complete shutdown of men until we can figure out what the hell is going on
3. Fellow people who experience periods: highly recommend against using cycle tracking apps because of This Shit

Well, wait… there’s the Frost and the Lynx. So those count. Good for them. But still.

I don’t really have any sort of beef with Minnesota fans, but as a reminder:

Twins: Nothing since 1991.
North Stars/Wild: No Cups
Timberwolves: Not even any finals
Vikings: 0-4 in the Super Bowl
United: No trophies

I didn’t have the Union’s Danley Jean-Jacques scoring for Haiti in a World Cup Qualifier as Philadelphia’s only sports win tonight but here we are. #DOOP
