by Justin Cherot You know what I realized today? If I have added you as a friend since last March (and yes, that somewhat coincided with a certain event that I will only link to precisely one more time on this site) you probably don’t even know that I used to bless my FB/Twitter folk with…
by Justin Cherot As many of you know, a few months ago I started my official paid foray into the sports industry, accepting a copywriting position with a company that touts high-powered sports “consultants” to help “clients” with difficult sports “decisions”. I love quotation marks. Obviously, the big moneymaker in the industry I speak of…
