Welcome to The Mouthpiece

A breath of fresh air? More like a good punch in pie hole. This is The Mouthpiece, sports news that offers in depth coverage of all the major sports and athletes in the greatest sports from the greatest country in the world, Merica'! My aim for this blog is to give readers up-to-date sports news that holds nothing back and doesn't rely on "Journalism-kids-gone-sports" to get and give the information we demand about our teams and our superstars. This is a sports blog for the fans written, researched, and thoroughly enjoyed along the way by yours truly, Marty O'Connor (the- "a step above crazy, emotionally invested, egotistical, wear your pride on your license plate" type fan).

What's behind the name? The Mouthpiece is the crucial piece of equipment in all sports that entail you getting your teeth smashed in. My blog strives to devour other writers' articles in the sports industry by bringing back fanhood, personality, and lifestyle to the news, teams, and athletes we desire. Oh... and yes it is also a cheesy double-meaning title. What you won't find here is the everyday stats-driven hoopla you find in those skinny columns on the side of a newspaper. What you will find, however, is that this is what sports and being a sports fan is all about! So, throw in your mouthpiece and get ready because The Mouthpiece is about to punch you straight into my world of full contact sports news.
