BackmarkerSPORTS: The home of armchair sports journalism
As a self-avowed sports addict, I needed an outlet for my ramblings about sport.

You won’t find any corporate jargon here—just honest views from a fan’s perspective. Whether you’re a fellow supporter or simply seeking a fresh take on sports, I invite you to pull up a chair and join the conversation.
