How The Sunburned Yankee Got Started
It started the way most things do — with an argument nobody won. I was sitting at a diner somewhere between a red state and a blue state, listening to two guys yell past each other about something neither of them fully understood, and I thought: somebody needs to write this down.
I'm not a pundit. I'm not a journalist. I'm a guy who's lived in enough places, watched enough history, and had enough bad takes proven wrong that I've earned the right to have a few good ones. The Sunburned Yankee is where those go.

What This Is About
Honest takes on the things that matter — sports, people, culture, and the weird beautiful mess of American life. No spin. No algorithm-chasing. Just writing worth reading.
Write it straight
No hedging, no both-sidesing into oblivion. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
Look at what's actually there
Not what the narrative says should be there. Not what Twitter decided this morning. What's actually in front of you.
Keep your sense of humor
This country is absurd. Pretending otherwise is how you end up on cable news.
