Managing Madrid

I know I haven’t been doing much in the way of blogging lately, but there are definitely reasons. I’ve been out of work for four weeks with shingles and trying to keep my sanity while cooped up at home for so long. The down side of this (one of many, I suppose) is that my psychological health has taken a hit, so I haven’t really been able to read or write much. The exception to this is sports, which I’ve watched a lot during my time “off,” and for whatever reason I have still been able to write about that subject.

In that vein, I am contributing some to an awesome website called Managing Madrid. It is a fan site and SB Nation blog dedicated to (surprise, surprise) Real Madrid, and it provides a lot of great content, from tactical analyses to news updates to transfer rumors and all the normal Madrid drama.

My first two pieces are up over there, and you can check them out here:

Is The Alaves Loss As Bad As It Looks?

Real Madrid’s Current Dilemma In Personal Context

I’m always very hesitant to put my sports writing out there, because I have had bad experiences with sexist trolls showing up and making the process miserable. So if you have any interest in reading and offering your thoughts, I’d definitely appreciate it. If you want to leave a comment there, that would be even better, but just checking it out would be awesome.

Thanks, or kix, as my baby bro would have said. I think this word needs to be revived, and I intend to use it until someone tells me, “Stop trying to make Kix happen.” Hasta entonces.
