Getting the Ball Rolling

What’s up everyone? Welcome to the No Fun League, where despite the sad attempt at a humorous title, we like to actually have fun with sports instead of viewing them strictly as a business (yeah I’m looking at you, Mr. Goodell). My name is Brenden Escott and I’m a third year Journalism student at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC, Canada. I decided to create this blog for three main reasons: I have a fiery passion for all things sports, I’m an extremely opinionated person, and I love to write. My intent here is to have a bit of fun writing informally about something I love, in hopes that I’ll squeak a cheap laugh out of you guys. And hey, if somewhere along the line something intelligent emerges, then I guess we all win. I’m going to try to post as frequently as ridiculous and/or newsworthy things happen in the wide world of sports, but understand that life happens, too. In case you were curious (which I know you weren’t), the biggest influences on my writing style would have to be Jay Onrait, Tim Micallef, Sid Seixeiro, and Mike Wilbon so if you have any issues with my edgy style, take it up with them…I’m sure they’d love to hear it. On that note, let’s get those pre-planned touchdown celebrations ready everyone, cause I promise there will be no penalty flags here.
