I recently chatted with Matt Crevin from Voice of the Box, who managed to catch me on video and talked about some of my previous football work experiences.  Check it out…

We here at Press Row are excited to announce our first group of Access Awards contestants for August 2008.  Voting is now open on the poll on the right sidebar of the homepage.  To give voting an entire week, we will end on 12 AM, Tuesday, September 2nd.

We received many high quality submissions for this [...]
