This month seven years ago the 76ers hired Brett Brown as head coach. August, a typical barren period in the NBA schedule is anything but this season. It’s highly likely this will be Brown’s final regular season games. His tenure, marked by tanking, a rotating cast of point guards, injuries, sheer weirdness, has remained a [...]
Over the past six years, the Philadelphia Eagles have experienced dramatic change. Chip Kelly. Sam Bradford. Doug Pederson. Carson Wentz. The one constant has been Malcolm Jenkins. The Eagles have played 102 games during the past six seasons. Jenkins never missed one. He’s barely missed snaps, playing nearly 99 percent of them since signing in [...]
I’ve never been to Montana. I haven’t been to plenty of places in the United States. Mickey and the Bear isn’t necessarily about Montana. It’s about people in these tricky, somewhat no-win situations across the country. Stuff that so many people go through. Money is tight. Opportunity is barren. The only plausible life direction points [...]
Somehow, it’s the end of February. It’s a bit cliché to begin any conversation with this idea that time is fleeting. Even though it often feels like it is. I’m making it a priority to write more on this website. It’s not that difficult to sit down for an hour and write about interesting things, [...]
Like many others, I've been frustrated with the 76ers this season. How could you not? It’s a strange juxtaposition. They’re nearly unbeatable at home. And they’re the 2007 Bobcats on the road. They’ve had their fair share of injuries, but that doesn’t explain their poor road play. In fact, Philadelphia has only one fewer win [...]
There’s something enigmatic about BoJack Horseman. It’s over now. Six seasons have come and gone. It’s time to reflect on an iconic animated show about a famous, habitually depressed and alcoholic horse. One of the more applicable, conscientiously realistic shows I’ve watched, BoJack Horseman illustrates human emotion brilliantly. How we feel and how we react [...]
As a year ends, I normally share my favorite movies of that given year on this here website. It’s a fun yet grueling and tedious exercise. With the Academy Awards airing earlier in 2020, I figured I’d take the extra time to watch the movies I failed to see during 2019 before publishing this list. [...]
I don’t care to figure out how much money I spent watching movies during the 2010s. It began junior year of high school with Shutter Island and Hot Tub Time Machine, stretching into that summer with Toy Story 3 and Inception. As fervent Buzz, Woody, Rex and Mr. Potato Head fanatics, my friends and I [...]
Earlier this month, I stopped by the library like I’ve done plenty of times before. I find solace in the library’s stillness. I don’t spend a bulk of my free time there or anything. At least once a week, however, I find myself there. Either checking out a book, renewing one to maintain a literary [...]
It’s been a long time since 2013. Well, in the grand scheme of human history it hasn’t been that long. But relating to the Philadelphia 76ers, 2013 might as well have been centuries ago. The losses, the commotion, the punches thrown, the diets, the Twitter handles, the lack of shooting, the broken bones, the list [...]
