lebron, wade, and i

Thursday, April 5th, 2012

So LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and I were there together hanging out and….well, there really isn’t going to be a time I get to say that again, so I’m going to take advantage now. I was lucky enough to be part of the huge team that the fine folks at ESPN the Magazine put together [...]

the creamsicle strikes back

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

Return of the creamsicle…love it. For a team that wears red all season long, I seem to get hired by the Bucs when they throwback or go pink, but I’ll take it.  I always love shooting for public relations in these situations, because I’m generally given the (paraphrasing) “Here’s the images we need, but otherwise [...]
