"Jayden": Two for Boarding Bonus Short Story
“[...] Watching the football team careen into the opposition at full force really makes you wonder if they or their coach have ever heard of the cumulative effects of repeated head injuries known as CTE. While we walked away from the game with a narrow win thanks to the combined efforts of quarterback Hugh Trayman and kicker Alex Wright, it would be remiss not to mention the other athletes on the pitch: the cheerleaders.

"Starling": Two for Boarding Bonus Story
Starling "I have a confession to make. I'm not a real hockey coach. So why did I spend nearly a full year posing as one? And how did I get away with it despite negligible talent at the job?

A Minor Penalties short story (NSFW) This just in: Tom Crowler is now a Prada brand ambassador. A weird choice for an athlete, let alone one as historically nondescript as Crowler. But a recent run of photos on Crowler’s brand new social media accounts show him in Prada’s line of loungewear, hanging out around the house and playing with his adorable dog, Artemis.
