About Megan

I was given a very unique opportunity to cover every central Ohio sporting event you can imagine for the WTVN sports department, under the direction of Larry Larson (aka Mr. High School Sports). Larry, besides being one of the nicest guys on the planet, was a staple in the Columbus sports media since... leather football helmets. I've seen the behind-the-scenes of the Buckeyes, Blue Jackets, Crew, Clippers, and too many other college and high school teams of every kind to name.

I am hooked on sports stories of all kind and plan on sharing the best of what I come across -- local and national, funny and serious. There will always be a healthy dose of silly pictures and videos that make me laugh, and links to pages that say smart sports stuff that I couldn't hope to explain on my own. And if you have something that you'd like to share with the class, that would be even better -- email stuff to me!!

I get so tired of hearing stories of millionaire athletes acting like jerks and morons. (I'm looking at you, Titus Young, embarrassment to the Boise State Broncos, arrested twice in one day.) When I see stories about people in the bigger-than-life sports world acting like good humans, it gets my attention -- even makes my day.

Cue Matt Kemp, who was caught on video surprising a terminally ill fan by signing and handing over not just a baseball, but his hat. Then his jersey. Then his shoes. It was a simple gesture that had a huge impact on this young man and his family.
