Mark your calendars – November 27th is quickly approaching and it’s a big day. It just so happens to be THE day I will gracefully exit my twenties and fly into a brand spanking new decade and hit the big 3-0. ESPN’s popular document series 30 for 30 was inspired by their anniversary (aptly, their […]
In preparation for Sunday’s big and final home game of the season against the LA Galaxy (widely and popularly known as “David Beckham’s team”), I thought I’d change things up a bit and profile a girl off the field rather than a guy on the field.
