Brett’s passion for sports began in Game 7 of the 1992 NLCS when Francisco Cabrera robbed him of a happy childhood by driving in the corpse of Sid Bream. A Northeast Ohio native, he discovered LeBron James in high school, dubbing him “the best amateur player since Carmelo Anthony.” While working with the Orlando Magic in the mid-2000s, he called Dwight Howard “a former No. 1 draft pick.” He once described Kevin Durant as “Greg Oden but with two knees and a jump shot.” A sportswriter with an analytics focus – those scouting reports don’t come without deep dives into the numbers – Brett’s full-time job is his disdain for the Pittsburgh Pirates, but he also enjoys ranking the best movies in the Saw franchise with his five- and three-year-olds.
