Ron Dombrowski – Taking Advantage of Unemployment
I can thank this shitty economy for my unhealthy amount of sports knowledge. I am an over educated entrepreneur who for the past year has been jobless and forced to suck from Uncle Sam’s unemployment teat while seeking random business endeavors from my couch. One benefit of this lifestyle is that I have plenty of time to watch ESPN News and Sports Center on continuous loop, and just about every sporting event that has ever been shown. Squash at 1:30 on ESPN The Ocho? Count me in. Curling at 4:15 on Fox Sports Latin America? Fuck yea, you had me at “curl.”
However pathetic the situation, it has given me substantial knowledge of all kinds of sporting events, trends, and random facts from the sports industry. Wisely, Mitch refuses to invite girls when he gets free tickets to random sports events, which puts me on permanent shotgun to go along for the ride. It’s not like I have shit else to do.
I can understand that most girls think Mitch is an asshole, and they think the same of me for that matter. Mitch may be a prick to you, but he is a good wingman and an even better friend. Now I may not be a fancy sports writer like he is, but I do bring a more rational outlook to sports than he does. But like him, I am never afraid to call a person out, and bring a brutally honest perspective to sports. If you don’t like it you can suck my balls.
I feel it is my duty to rip new assholes for those people in sports that undeservedly don’t get touched by the typical media and sports writers. I am overly critical on athletes since I have been an athlete all of my life. I played football, track, and basketball from elementary school thru college. Unfortunately my knees gave out my senior year and I never recovered enough to go pro. Mitch argues this is why I am very critical on athletes who have been given the tools and the luck to avoid injury. I hate to see these guys squander away their gifts because they rarely know how lucky they are and how ugly the real world is.
Like Mitch, I am here to cover the shit that most sports announcers are censored from saying. Despite my lack of funds, I also somehow manage to live an obscene lifestyle, so expect to see a few articles detailing my drunken adventures through life every now and then. Any feedback is welcomed but unless you agree with me, you’re wrong. I am always up for some criticism so I can prove that you are an idiot. And that includes you, Mitch Mansfield!
