A Cincinnati kid on TV. Host of The Mental Game podcast interviewing athletes and celebrities on @TheMentalGame. Management: [email protected]
Los Angeles, CA
Joined May 2009
I was a sports reporter on TV. But the real me was depressed and alone. I don’t want anyone to struggle like I did. So I started a mental health podcast with athletes, musicians, and celebrities. Our goal is to save lives with conversations. Please share to help anyone we can. ❤️

Personal update: I am taking a break from sports reporting to focus on my mental health. I’ve battled depression for 15 years. These last 3 months have been the hardest. But I finally want to make a big change and be happy with myself. I’m ready to beat this thing. And I will!.

The Reds are hitting rock bottom. Fans are paying for billboards, flying a banner next to the ballpark calling out the front office, and wearing bags on their heads in the stands. This is really sad to watch the Reds historic franchise crash and burn. Cincinnati deserves better.

If this is true, it's a bad look for the Reds. 1. Fans have a right to voice their frustrations. 2. Bengals fans did this for years during losing seasons and I can't remember ever seeing a fan punished for it.

The sad truth is that the Bengals Super Bowl window has closed. The best chance to win a championship was 2021-24. Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are playing their final games together. Defense needs to be rebuilt and coaching staff evaluated. Wasted season in 2024.
