Find the story

What the heck is this thing?

My name is Rick Lemon. I am a student, a journalist, a craft beer connoisseur and most importantly for the purpose of this blog, a life-long sports fan. The goal here (no pun intended) is to find the reasons that make sports great. For any sports fan, usually just saying that there is a good game on or a match between two big rivals in enough to get them to park themselves in front of the TV for a few hours. The purpose here however is to go deeper than that. We will analyze the biggest games and find the lesser known reasons that make that matchup great and maybe give someone a reason why to watch other than "it's a good game". Maybe the coach has been rumored to be looking to retire, or maybe there is a historic significance to the game coming up, or maybe two players on the teams seem to get into a fight every time they come near each other on the court. We will find the story within the story of the big game and give you a reason to connect to sports differently than just the average sports fan. The blog will change along with the seasons and no sport or league is off limits, one post might be about the Super-bowl (foreshadowing!), and the next might be about high-school rugby. If I find a story, it'll be on here.

Until then,
The Lemon Drop
