The Stanley Cup final is underway, meaning Stanley Cup stories by yours truly. I don’t cover a lot of hockey, but I pride myself in being able to tackle almost any story/subject out there. For Fox News Latino, I examined the challenges the NHL faces in attracting Latino fans and what the league is doing […]

A few months ago, I wrote a piece for Fox News Latino on the lack of an emerging fighter with superstar potential. On Saturday night, I witnessed what could very well be the career-launching fight of a legend. It most certainly was a candidate for the 2011 fight of the year Victor Ortiz upset Andre […]

Wow. That was my reaction to the reaction I got from my latest Fox News Latino column. I know people read my stories, but it surprised me to see my piece go viral. I didn’t expect such a response when I wrote the piece on MLS being in position to surpass the NHL as the […]

I had the opportunity to attend the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, which is conveniently held annually in my backyard. If not the premiere sports business event, it is certainly one of them.

I try to have my Fox News Latino stories budgeted out in advance, but some weeks, the subject (please forgive the sports pun) becomes a game-time decision. There’s definitely somewhat of a lull post-Super Bowl before we get into the NBA trade deadline, March Madness and MLB Opening Day, and this week, I was looking […]

As I’ve said before, there are moments when the uniqueness of my professional situation dawns on me. Saturday morning, NFL Network was on in the background as I cleaned the house and got my daughter breakfast. (A very glamorous life, I know.) It was an NFL Films piece on Super Bowl IV.

In an exciting development, I now will be contributing to Fox News Latino on a weekly basis. This week, my editor asked for a boxing piece. With the Miguel Cotto-Ricardo Mayorga bout announced for March 13, it was a timely subject. However, considering what an overwhelming favorite Cotto is, the piece couldn’t really be about […]
