During the strict quarantine in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were little to no sports going on in the month of May. Documentaries like ESPN’s “The Last Dance” was the most talked about ‘sporting event’ among fans and talk shows.  In a time of sports fans starving for content, ESPN released an E:60 documentary titled “Project 11” on May 1. “Project 11” revealed Washington quarterback Alex Smith’s amazing story of recovery from...

Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. stepped into a ring to square off as two boxing legends battling it out on November 28, 2020. The biggest buzzkill of that entire sentence is the “2020” attached to it. 2020 should have been 2000 (or some time around it) when both fighters were in their 30s instead of their 50s. We would be talking about boxing’s biggest name at the time in Tyson fighting against the widely...

Kamala Harris gave her victory speech as the first Black and Asian woman to be elected as vice president of the United States of America. Many, especially for women and little girls, will remember that night on November 7, 2020.

Yes, we are two games into the 2020 Western Conference Finals as the (Lakers with 2-0 lead). Yet a week later, there is still a segment of the population thinking about what the basketball world was deprived of. Imagine a conference final that doesn’t feature two title favorites who also happen to both hail from Los Angeles. But wait, 2020 keeps doing its thing — thanks to a historic meltdown and a historic comeback by...

Minutes after the Mountain West Conference announced Monday it will not have fall sports, including football, I sent a text to a San Diego State football player regarding the news his conference decided to cancel the fall season. “Just gonna get ready for (the) league,” he replied.
