Josh Cooper

Josh will be working at his third Olympic Games come February, in Vancouver with Olympic News Service. He also held positions covering baseball at the Athens 2004 Summer Games and bobsled at the Torino 2006 Winter Games.

Before moving to Vancouver, Josh covered the University of Alabama sports beat for The Decatur Daily from 2006-09. By the third week after Nick Saban was hired as Alabama's head football coach, Josh lost count of how many times Saban had yelled at him.

Josh's freelance work has appeared in The New York Times, ESPN.com, the Arizona Republic, the Chicago Sun-Times, Baseball America, and the Tupelo Daily Journal.

"In an effort not to be racist we've become racist."

That was a line from a Thursday night sitcom last week. Of which, I couldn't agree more.

Curiously I noticed the NFL celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and then saw this article from Reuters, NBA launches bigger push for Hispanic fans (http://www.reuters.com/article/sportsNews/idUSTRE59I4IR20091019)

In the interest of full disclosure, I'm Korean, South Korean. When will there be a South Korean Heritage Month or bigger push by one of the major sports leagues to attract South Korean fans?

What’s that expression; tongue firmly placed in cheek …

BRUCE LINTON

Bruce Linton lives his life by example.

He is a firm believer that diabetics should not be restricted by their medical condition and that they should maintain an active lifestyle, live life with a positive mental attitude, and dream big. “A diabetic should not be limited by his disease. He is only limited by his dreams and as a diabetic ones dreams should be unlimited!” The journey continues…
