I was a former 4th string college quarterback and middle relief pitcher who thought an overpriced film and media studies degree was a smart choice. Now, I'm a single dad who likes to blog, vlog, podcast, write, edit, optimize, strategize, and over-analyze.   ABOUT "GIANT MESS": "Giant Mess" is a sloppy sports and entertainment talk show hosted by a giant mess, the Real Cinch Neal Lynch.
