Published in Letters from a Sports Fan·Jun 12Tua Fish: Does Tua’s Arm Strength Make a Difference in the Dolphins' Offensive Progression?I don’t think anyone that I know of questions the leadership of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. From what I’ve seen of him, the intangibles are there: he’s a fighter, he’s not going to give up, he will play to the very end. He doesn’t complain, throw a tantrum, or…Tua Tagovailoa3 min read
Published in Letters from a Sports Fan·May 29Is Eric Bieniemy His Own Worst Enemy?Over the past few years, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy’s name has been on the radar for head coaching positions, yet, he has yet to be hired.

Published in Letters from a Sports Fan·May 14Giannis vs. Kobe in Their PrimesLast week, I saw a headline where sports analyst Colin Cowherd stated that he thinks Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is currently better than the late Kobe Bryant — I still can’t believe I’m describing him in that manner — was in his prime. …Giannis Antetokounmpo2 min read
Published in Letters from a Sports Fan·May 2Awesome Sauce: Grading the New York Jets’ Draft PicksI’m not a fan of the saying “awesome sauce,” however, it fits considering the nickname of one of the Jets picks.

Published in Letters from a Sports Fan·Apr 226th Man Mount RushmoreTypically, I don’t get into these “GOAT” or Mount Rushmore conversations, but this post is inspired by sportswriter Keyshawn Shaahid’s Mount Rushmore of All-Time NBA greats, except I decided to take a different route and select some of the best 6th men I’ve seen.
