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 […]

After the Jets upset over the Patriots, my editor at Fox News Latino asked me for a Mark Sanchez piece. I wanted to do something that was going to be different from all the other AFC Championship lead-up pieces that were going to be done on the quarterback. I suggested doing a piece on how […]

I recently got an e-mail from a sportswriter in Sweden asking if I’d be willing to do an interview on the U.S. college game and the MLS SuperDraft for SvenskaFans.com, the country’s biggest sports web.

There’s just something to the championship atmosphere that you can only capture if you’re actually on site. Akron took home the trophy, capping a championship that was years in the making.

Moments after FIFA announced Qatar would host the 2022 Word Cup, Fox News Latino contacted me about writing a column. I was more than happy to contribute a piece. I was able to jump on the conference call with U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati, and the quotes added another dimension to the piece. (Fortunately, I […]

The piece I did on Antonio Margarito in the leadup to his bout with Manny Pacquiao was well received, both by the editors at Fox News Latino and in terms of traffic, and I was asked to come up with another boxing story.

After taking a very specific focus (Akron) for my first College Soccer News column, I decided to take a broader view for my second piece. As the NCAA tournament selection show was slated for the a day after this story ran, I opted to take a bicoastal look at some of the nation’s top teams. […]

When Fox News Latino approached me about doing an op-ed, it was going to be a one-shot deal. However, after the Ines Sainz column ran, the site’s editors were really pleased with the piece, both in how it turned out and in the traffic it generated. I was then approached about doing a second column, […]
