Trap of the Day: Brian Banks
trapit: Image via.  After nearly a decade of silence, Wanetta Gibson wanted to “let bygones be bygones.” After a long, heartless hiatus, Gibson contacted a former high school classmate Brian Banks admitting to carrying heavy guilt on her conscience having held a lie locked in her safe keep all these years. For Banks, it was a lie that forced him to live the tail-end of his teenage life behind...

A Tragic Weekend for the Sport of Boxing: Paul...
Honor thy champion: there is more than breaking news behind the name. Pictured on the left, Johnny “Mi Vida Loca” Tapia. Pictured on the right, Paul “the Punisher” Williams. Though these fighters weren’t necessarily household names to the casual boxing fan, their stories (pre-tragedy) certainly need to be heard. One man now sits in a hospital bed fighting for his...

Trap of the Day: Paige Sultzbach
A piece I wrote on Paige Sultzbach, published on our Trapit blog. trapit: At the age of 15, Paige Sultzbach was approaching the most illustrious moment in her young athletic career. As a freshman second baseman attending Phoenix’s Mesa Preparatory Academy, Sultzbach and her team were on the verge of becoming Arizona champs after locking up a berth in the state title game. With the game right...

Making fun of old people is never ok. Well, sometimes. Lee Corso knew he was lying through his teeth so he just couldn’t muster saying Matt Barkley’s name correctly. I don’t blame him. Barkley claims he has “unfinished business” at USC—he is alluding to winning the Natty, when really, he should set his sights on winning the conference first. In the oldschool...

Baseball is beautiful. For the environmentalists ready to chain themselves to my video, we used “lobster golf balls” to stroke into the Pacific Ocean. Good times at my best friend’s bachelor party weekend. Newport, coastal Oregon Paradise.

Easy there coach, don’t forget your Rangers took the series opener. But in all fairness, that phone should’ve been silenced after one ring. Figure it out people!

Paige Sultzbach: The Young Ballplayer that Had the...
The Mesa Prep Monsoons were undefeated heading into the ACAA (Arizona) division 1A Baseball State Championship. Because of Paige Sultzbach, the game was never played. Don’t blame her though, all she wanted to do was hit the diamond. The story here… (via: More photos of the squad)

Trap of the Day: Bionic Woman
A piece I wrote on our Trapit blog documenting the incredible story of Claire Lomas, the Bionic Woman. Her story is AWESOME! trapit: The sun is finally beaming through our Trapit office windows so it feels appropriate to skip over all the gloomy topics in the sports world this week, and go with something a little more in sync with the sentiment of this happy weather. Forget Greg...

Trapit Discovers: The Swan Gondola →
Cornhusker fans, stand up! trapitdiscovers: University of Nebraska-Lincoln Football Team, 1890. Image via. I’ve never much been one for history class (too dry? too distant? too much genocide?) but I love artifacts, especially bizarro items that make hilarious claims that remind me just how ridiculous humans can be. The Swan Gondola, titled for author Timothy Schaffert’s upcoming novel of the...

Social Media Scam of 2012? Deadspin Releases...
[The following is purely reckless speculation: Innocent until proven guilty] *wink* If there is such a thing as having a Twitter crush, Sarah Phillips was mine. On the surface, she’s clearly smokin’ hot, with a natural, care-free complexion. While prototypical girls are primping for days in the lady’s room, I pictured Sarah on a Friday night breaking down the weekend’s...

Oregon Gridiron Video Release: Fall Success Starts...
When it comes to PR, nobody does it better than the University of Oregon football program. Think we are nothing but a gimmicky potent offense with luxury facilities, dime cheerleaders and cutting-edge uniforms? Wrong. We also know how to get it done in the digital world, hosting the most on-point recruiting website in the game: Oregon Gridiron.  This week, Oregon Gridiron released a video...
