In all these songs by Cat Stevens or 2Pac or whoever, they talk about teaching children important lessons. What are you learning about in school? I ask the four-year-old. Without missing a beat, he answers, Splinter. The Ninja Turtle rat? Yes, he says. You learn about Splinter in school? What did I tell you? Go inside, I reprimand.

The Website of Matt Osgood. A collection of writing. January 30, 2015. Refusing to Believe Pats’ Success is a Mistake. That being said, my leanings swayed for good when Robert Kraft bought the team. Drew Bledsoe was the #1 pick, the logo was changed, and Bill Parcells was coming on as a coach. Optimism reigned and the Patriots would be playing on television. Access is important. You can’t root for a team you can’t watch play. It does fandom a disservice. Of all the Patriots transgressions and history...

The Website of Matt Osgood. A collection of writing. June 19, 2014. What’s in a name? As with most pivotal moments in popular culture, the entire situation comes down to opinions, which is good in some hard-to-define way. We’re entitled to our opinions by the Constitution and, more than that, we’re allowed to have opinions because it’d be a dick move if we weren’t. And if we all agreed on everything, there’d be no such thing as opinions, just facts piled up on a pretty boring landscape. There’d be a stan...

The Website of Matt Osgood. A collection of writing. April 27, 2015. On Jenner; On Waddell. Sparing the details, I wanted to tell a modernized version of the Tom Waddell story last summer, in the year of his 60th reunion from Springfield College. Waddell’s story is a remarkable tale that Dick Schaap wrote a book about, and that my friend Marty Dobrow masterfully retold for ESPN. Dr Tom Waddell was an Olympian, a paratrooper, a doctor, an outspoken social rights activist. He died of AIDS in 1987. I can sa...

The Website of Matt Osgood. A collection of writing. December 2, 2014. Thoughts on the Rams’ “Hands Up” Protest. It’s important to note this idea that the first amendment should protects us from professional punishment, though. The Rams players are certainly allowed to exercise their rights as citizens. They did so non-violently and silently, and that created waves that rippled outward into both praise and criticism. Martin Luther King would have been proud, I think. A dialogue is overdue. Nate L. on...
