“Hey dad, can you read my essay?” That’s the words I heard. When I read it I could not be more proud of Princess 1.0. THAT and it’s my blog and I’ll post what I want to. I’m biased but … Continue reading Multi-Sport Athletes By Emma Conrad
I see you travel baseball mom and dad. I’ve been there. You’re currently in that 2-3 week insanity that starts about a week or two before the season ends. Maybe it’s a text or an email. Could be a phone … Continue reading What I’ll Miss The Most
We’re nearing the finish line. A marathon summer of insanity. I know you’re thinking it. I’ve even thought it. Why in the world do you do that? Why does your family get so involved in travel sports? Defensively I might … Continue reading Especially When They Don’t
I used to hate this time of year. If you’re the parent of a travel baseball player, you know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s that time of year when you turn into a sports agent for your child. It’s … Continue reading It Takes a Village
It’s been over 24 hours now. My wife is probably glad I’ll quit talking about if he will or if he won’t return. I wanted to write this yesterday but this is my first chance to get enough time to put it all into words. Before I really get into it, I need to unpack a few things. Hopefully you’ll stick around for the whole post. Especially if you’re not from Cleveland or Ohio. Even if you swore you’d never forgive what Lebron did or if you care less about basketball. Maybe after reading his essay (which will be 100 … Continue reading Why Grown Men Cried
Last night UNC beat duke in the first of their two meetings this season. It was a great game and the rivalry never disappoints. Immediately following the game, the fans “stormed the court.” As soon as ESPN cut to the highlights of the game, they began to question if this should have been done. This, after all, is North Carolina. Just so we’re clear, I tweeted this as soon as I saw it: https://twitter.com/AaronConrad/status/436716914111303680 As you can see, I didn’t agree with it. I think it gives a more talented rival fuel for a game that will take place in … Continue reading Storming The Court
College Hoops teams can begin practicing today so I’m all like this…. Continue reading College Hoops
I love this town. Last night around 9:45 I was less than pleased. Chris Perez had just blown a critical save for the Indians…..again. With so much riding on every win and loss at this point in the season, our beloved Indians cannot afford to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It doesn’t help when the guy serving up the home runs (2 in the 9th inning last night) has been less than appreciative of the fan base and his own teammates. But there we were. As Bob Baptist tweeted… So I tuned in in the bottom of the … Continue reading Kinda Like Camelot
Have you been watching the NBA Finals? Even if you haven’t you’ve probably seen an unfamiliar name trending on twitter and featured in the highlights on ESPN. Former Tar Heel Danny Green is literally setting Finals records with a 3-point shooting display beyond imagination. He passed “being on fire” around game 3 and it now flat out getting buckets. Everyone is surprised….but me….and Danny Green. It’s been well documented, but Danny was drafted in the second round out of The University of North Carolina (pause for respect….) by the Cleveland Cavaliers. That’s right, my favorite NBA team drafted one of … Continue reading What Danny Green Can Teach Us
Have you ever quit a dream job? Ever get let go from a job? Ever end a relationship or quit training for something only to regret or miss it after time passed? Today I watched a press conference for new Cavaliers Coach, Mike Brown. Look, I’m a Cleveland guy so I still follow the teams (except the Browns, I left that camp a long time ago) and all the drama. Yes, I sat there tonight and watched a 30 minute presser and I’m not sure why. Yet I did take some lessons from that 30 minutes so it wasn’t a … Continue reading Embracing Your Two Point O.
You have no idea how much this sickens me. Honestly. For a guy that bleeds Carolina Blue, it was very difficult to fill out this bracket. But it is that season and we are diehard college hoop fans at our house. The other 4 members of my house actually completed their brackets Sunday night. In true form, the girls usually win the challenge and Princess 2.0 usually takes home the crown. That tells you what my picks are worth. Disclaimers out of the way, here it is…. (Printable Version HERE) Full Analysis: Every year, I automatically take UNC and pencil … Continue reading My 2013 Tournament Predictions
I love seeing this guy in a Cavaliers uniform! One of my top 10 favorite Tar Heels making an impact. Sometimes you just need the right system. Lord knows he’s always been a great shooter. Textbook jump shot. Continue reading Make it Rain, Wayne

In all the books I’ve ever read about fatherhood, I have yet to find one that listed “agent” as one of the duties. Maybe the world has changed and evolved since those books were written. Maybe it’s just our town, but based on what I’m hearing, it’s everywhere. It’s a little crazy, but it is what it is. I am my kids Dad and I’m also their agent. For a small price, I will be your kids agent too….(not true). The great Jerry Maguire once said… I will not rest until I have you holding a Coke, wearing your own shoe, … Continue reading I’m also an agent
We didn’t have “flat bills”. We folded ours and put them in our back pocket. Our hats weren’t fitted. They were mesh in the back and had snaps to make them fit. We didn’t have fancy logos, letters or numbers on the hats. Our teams didn’t have fancy names. We were sponsored by a local car dealer or business. You didn’t pick your team or teammates. You were put on a team and made new friends. When you hit a home run, you got a banana split at Dairy Queen – not recruited to a new team. Our bats were … Continue reading When It Was Just A Game
