This is #DaRundown Sports

Welcome to the blog to the podcast which is #DaRundown Sports. Much like the start of this NFL season this coming to you after much delay. No lightning on this side though. This is more of a thunderstorm of circumstances. That's neither here nor there. This is the about what you can get here but how I got here will be in the fold. This not a news operation so don't expect late breaking or exclusive Intel you can't get anywhere else. This baby is born out of the infotainment movement that is currently intruding the sports world. There are no journalist, no former players, coaches or analysts. So your wtf you got? Might not be groundbreaking but this my chance to bring what the fans think are important by asking them.

We will be exploring storylines that are going undiscussed on some platforms. Of course we wont be ignorant to anything that is dominating the headlines but we might look at some other angles based of information we or you as the fan feel like is overlooked. The #DaRundown is based in Atlanta, GA.  Personally the sports scene in Atlanta is undervalued in mainstream media. I'm hoping this movement will bring a lil more spotlight to it. Based on access alone you will see a lil more love to Atlanta area sports teams and the southern sports scene in general. No bias just geography. I won't lie to you, this won't be covering all sports.  I'm a football and basketball guy so guess what I talk about? Yeah, we will touch on others but those two will dominate. Sorry hardcore NHL and MLB fans gotta keep those to a minimum. The blog and podcast have a urban vibe because it's truly a P.O.M.E. (Google if you don't know but if the reference doesn't ring a bell, its a a 50/50 chance whether or not you actually like this podcast. Try it anyway)

As a podcast fan the main theme I have a problem with is the lack of diversity. No ones at fault here. The market only bares whats companies have access to and who wants access. I talk to my average peer and they don't even know the platform exist. For frame of reference I'm a twenty-four year old black male born in the midwest and for the most part raised in the Metro Atlanta area (but a Saints fan somehow, anyway). My people (insert Malcom X joke) have sooooo much to say but we don't use the tools we're given to make something of it. I'm hoping to start something here. I want to bring about more podcasts on different subjects and start a real movement to a underserved market.
