Old men like shuffleboard — not NBA players

22 02 2010

Leave it to Don Nelson to bring his players to a bar. The coach who’s famous for sipping on a Bud Light during each postgame press conference — before the NBA told him he couldn’t do that anymore — took a few of his younger guys to an Oakland bar to play shuffleboard. Rather than elaborate, I’ll just link to the article. Thank goodness for coaches like Nelson who keep things interesting:

Meet me

Hi there, I work as a writer/reporter in New York City covering business, health, technology and media in sports. I also spend my work time reporting for a market research publication. This blog serves two purposes: 1) A home for my various stories, 2) A way for me to convey my thoughts on hot topics in the sports world. I hope you enjoy what I have to write, whether you agree, disagree or otherwise.

I moved to New York City from Montana in 2007 – I grew up in L.A. – and I switched careers from landscape design to journalism in 2008.

I sat in the third base camera well with the MLB Productions crew during Game 6 of the 2009 ALCS. John Cena once asked me if I had to cut short our interview to watch Game 3 of the 2010 NBA Finals. Tiger Woods tried showing me how to play his video game with a PlayStation Move controller and I kept screwing up. I almost drilled Harold Reynolds with a whiffle ball while at the plate inside MLB Network's Studio 42. Those are some of my favorite memories from my job.
