The Bad Ash Blog

With my blog being called "Engaging Sports and Personal News," there is just going to be a little bit of every kind of post ranging from things in the sports world to... Well, my own world. Hence the "personal" part.  So maybe that wasn't the best "punch line," if you will, for this blog entry, but I was not sure if I had stated that yet and I felt that the audience should know... Plus, I couldn't really wrack my brain enough to come up with something clever for my third entry. Honestly. Now, I'm sure that it doesn't take someone who lives under a rock to realize the severity of injuries that can come about from sports. Whether these injuries end up being career-ending, long term or maybe just something minor. I occasionally have a debate with myself and always ask, "have injuries really increased in sports since around the 1980s-'90s, has the severity of multiple injuries increased, or have these "new rules" in selec...

Post number two! Hopefully I am getting better at this. Enjoy! You might think that if someone lives around a small county or in a small town their whole life, they just learn to love it. Well, this may seem a tad bit blunt, but if you are thinking this... You're wrong. I think it is safe to say that all who grow up in a small town don't learn to love it; the small town living just isn't for them. Okay, okay... Yes, I am talking about myself. I grew up in a small town, moved to a smaller town when I was about 8 and have remained ever since, but I have never felt like I really fit into the small town lifestyle. I am actually counting down the days that I will be moving out of this crazy small area. Now, don't get me wrong, there are things that I love around here. Things such as my family and the close friends that I have here, but they don't have to worry... I'll be back to visit... Sometimes. I believe that my love for the big city first began about two yea...

Okay... I am rookie at this whole blogging business so if this first post is a little rough, that will remain my excuse. I thought that I would start out my first blog entry with what my whole Blogger name is all about; Engaging Sports and Personal News. Now, if you aren't new to the whole sports world then you might have an idea of why I went with the acronym, ESPN. If you are not familiar with all things sports, ESPN should sound a little bit familiar, but I will go ahead and give a brief background. ESPN is actually a Disney network. Everyone loves a little Disney, right?! I know I do! ESPN is, in a nutshell, a sports broadcasting network that will stream anything sports, 24/7. Different things within sports as well. Things such as entertainment going on within the sports world, whatever interesting that could be going on within teams, players, coaches, locker rooms... When I say, "all things sports," I mean it! So there's that. You might be putting a couple pie...
