Hey Folks! I'm Justin and I live, love, and breath sports! I can talk about it all day...so I decided I should be paid for it!
I'm 31 and I'm a Navy brat so I've lived all over this great country. I graduated from Specs Howard School of Media Arts top of my class in Broadcast as well as Rochester University Magna Cum Laude in Mass Communications.
When I'm not working I enjoy spending time with my family and my dog, kayaking, swimming, riding roller coasters, riding ATVs, watching sports, and playing video games.Â
Sports brings communities together, especially in todays climate, and It's my honor to cover local sports for west central Ohio!
The NBA has fined Stephen Curry and Joel Embiid $25,000 apiece for actions on the court. Curry was penalized Friday for throwing his mouthpiece into the crowd late in Golden State’s 122-120 home victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. The All-Star guard was given a technical foul and ejected. Embiid’s fine was for an obscene gesture midway through the third quarter of Philadelphia’s home victory over Brooklyn on Wednesday night.
Rising star Ilia Malinin scored a personal-best 110.36 in the men’s short program to kick off the second day of the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, leading second-place veteran Jason Brown by more than 10 points. Malinin entered as the favorite to win his first U.S. title and had the most difficult planned technical content of every competitor, executing a clean skate that included a quad lutz-triple toe loop combination that netted him nearly 20 points. The 18-year-old finished second to Olympic champion Nathan Chen in his senior nationals debut last year but was passed over for the Olympic team in favor of the more experienced Brown.
The Atlanta Falcons have hired their new defensive coordinator from an NFC South rival’s coaching staff. The Falcons hired Ryan Nielsen, the former New Orleans Saints co-defensive coordinator. Nielsen replaces the 73-year-old Dean Pees, who retired on Jan. 9 following two seasons in charge of the defense on coach Arthur Smith’s staff. The Falcons also announced three defensive assistants will not return next season: defensive line coach Gary Emanuel, outside linebackers coach Ted Monachino and secondary coach Jon Hoke. The 43-year-old Nielsen had worked on the Saints’ staff since 2017 and was the defensive line coach this season.
