For ESPN, Mooney wrote "Is J.J. Watt the next Texas legend?" on the Houston Texans star defensive end and two powerful Sports Illustrated pieces were "Max Lenox's amazing journey to much-admired Army hoops captain" from Price and "Ryan Anderson tries to move forward after girlfriend Gia Allemand's suicide" written by Ballard. This piece on Anderson was particularly moving and just really poignant and important.
This blog is all about words because they matter, they influence, they entertain and when you put them down on a page in a meaningful order, they acquire permanence. Contained here is my writing over the past 10+ years, primarily book reviews and posts on magazine and web articles I liked and I'm currently aiming to read and write on two books a month.

Great sports writing - by Mooney, Price & Ballard
Three recent great pieces of sports writing included work by some of my favorite sports writers in Michael Mooney, S.L. Price & Chris Ballard.
