The Bad Ash Blog

The last couple of blogs I have done have been about the potential upcoming football season, college and pros. Since I chatted with you all last … we actually have sports back! **excuse me while I give the biggest “Welcome Back” celebration of my life** We have baseball back (for right now), NHL is on its way, and we have the NBA bubble. So, let’s talk buckets. Is it just me or has anyone else forgotten that we have actually had some of the NBA regular season? This bubble has appeared to be its own world to the point where I forgot that there have been games played before now, that have mattered. This is why you have probably been reading the MVP race articles. I will not be talking about my already-decided NBA Award winners. Although, the battle of The King and The Greek Freak might be what I am most looking forward to. Zion has returned to the bubble, but Ja Morant is my Rookie of the Year with no questions asked. I don’t need to tell you that games will be tipping off at the...

You may or may not be a part of the ever-glorious Twitter world. Regardless, you have probably seen the "#WeWantToPlay" tweeted out by many NFL players. If you follow me on Twitter then you have certainly glanced at this hashtag because I have retweeted many tweets from these athletes advocating for ... themselves.  At no surprise, the NFL and the NFL Players Association are not in agreement. The players want to be looked out for and the league wants the moolah. So, who has to sacrifice? What are the negotiations at-hand? What's gotta give for there to simply be ... football.  On March 31st Jeff Pash, the NFL Executive Vice President and General Counsel, made a bold plan for the upcoming 2020 season. Almost four months ago we had expectations that the season would start on time, fans would be in the stands, games would be played at the regular stadiums, 17 weeks would be played, and a full set of playoffs would ice the cake. Fast forward to today and it may not b...

Mood ALL 2020 I get it … we’re all nervous, right? What does the current state of this country mean for football season? I am certainly more of an NFL lady, but even the uncertainty of the college football season keeps me up at night. I advocate and believe in the ‘football brings people together’ campaign. It is that thing we are certain of every year. For me it is my escape from everything else happening in the world. Multiple conversations throughout the work week consist of making plans for the “big game.” Whether you wake up on Saturdays and have a cup of coffee or crack open a beer at 10 AM, it is socially acceptable … during football season. From tailgates to touchdowns, College Gameday to NFL Sunday Countdown, beers to burgers (or my personal favorite, nachos), debates to friendly debacles, comparisons to controversies … there is nothing like football season. Remember making fun of all the ‘silly’ or ‘pointless’ Bowl games? I take it all back. I would watc...
