Welcome to the Sports Verdict

thank you for subscribing to my blog!

as you can tell from the title, my blog will center around sports topics. I want to thank my fellow USC alums/Pi Kapp brothers for encouraging me to start this blog.

From the time I was a young child sports have been a passion of mine. As I have grown older, this passion has only grown greater. A public relations major from the elite Annenberg School for Communications at the University of Southern California, I enjoy critiquing media.

One of the main missions of my blog is to critique sports media and analyze how they attempt to influence the public while pushing their own agenda and financial interests. I firmly believe this is an issue that threatens the future of sports, especially collegiate football, and must be addressed.

A true sports nerd (thank you Sean Tiernan!) in the truest sense, my blog will include many random rants about anything sports that I feel worth mentioning at the time.

I've been lucky in my 27 years to have traveled the USA attending hundreds of sporting events, I will share my past experiences and update my upcoming games as appropriate.

As with any blog, reader feedback is essential. I encourage comments and disagreements. I have been wrong many times in the past and will be wrong many more times in the future.

As much as possible please support your opinions with facts. Please try to avoid saying 'Team A sucks and will get murdered by Team B' without giving anything concrete to back it up. I can turn on ESPN and hear comments like the aforementioned, my blog is an attempt at sports dialogue a notch above ESPN.

Again, thank you for your interest and please invite your friends and family.

Fight On,

Nate

  1. Nate, you're off to a Rocketing start (similar to the Houston Rockets' 22-1 start in 1993--keeping it in the sports realm). Let's see a post on the Heisman and Johnny Lujack, whatevs. Congratulations!

  2. Fact:

    Team Reggie Bush sucks and will get murdered by Team Kim Kardashian.

    A solid start of a sports blog that even a non-sports fellow like myself can enjoy. I think you have a solid angle for your editorial. Keep on truckin'
