LA-Bron: The Good, the Bad, and the Spitting - Part 3
The month of December was not terribly kind to the Los Angeles Lakers. Sure, they finished with an 8-7 record, but this month will be remembered as the one which the Lakers were truly unhealthy. Well, to be honest, the team has rarely been at full strength this entire year, but that was taken to a new extreme this month. But anyways, here's my Lakers breakdown for the month of December.

My Unqualified Hall of Fame Ballot
Let me be perfectly clear. I am not a baseball writer. I am not, and probably will never be a member of the BBWAA. At best, I am a casual baseball fan.

There are so many factors and stats and points of principle to sift through that you could argue most anyone should at least get a vote. So, it got me thinking. Who would I tick off if I had a vote? After weeks of crunching the numbers (and opening up dozens of Baseball Reference tabs at a time), I have a ballot that I am confident to defend.

The Wavering Path
Let me start this by saying a few things. I have not been in a ton of fights in my life. I'm no saint, however; I have been in a number of dust-ups. That is not the same thing as having a violent life. Violence is present in anyone's life, unless they live in a bubble. Some of us are exposed to more examples of it, and varying types of violence. This is just what my story is, and how it has changed me over the years.

I am currently in Miami Beach, trying to freshen my tan and recapture the magic that is my summer look for a few days, but I couldn't miss previewing Wild Card weekend.

The 10 Best Books for Fans of Women’s Soccer
While there is a plethora of soccer books on the market, the vast majority focus almost entirely on men's soccer. While women's soccer was organized much later on a national and international pitch, it has proven to be just as entertaining and inspiring as its counterpart. Its star players; like Mia Hamm, Abby Wambach, and Hope Solo; are certainly no less compelling. That's why books for fans of women's soccer provides readers unique insights onto these players and their journeys.
