We’re looking for your submissions for our ‘Sports Explained’ series.

In October of 2014, we at Good Men Project Sports started this column called ‘Sports Explained.’ It all started with a column called Sports Explained: The Complex Simplicity of Baseball:
“Baseball is a game played by two teams, one out, the other in. The one that’s in sends players out, one at a time, To see if they can get in – before they get out. If they get out before they get in, they come in, but it doesn’t count. If they get in before they get out, they also come in, and it does count.”
And so on and so forth.
The concept for the column is to tackle each sport out there and explain the sport, but in a funny and off-beat way that connects to pop culture, often movies.
For example, for Sports Explained: Bowling, we channeled The Big Lebowski and Kingpin. For Sports Explained: Golf, Happy Gilmore and Caddyshack.
We’ve also adapted the column to cover sports related and pop culture events like Super Bowl parties, the Oscars, the NBA All Star weekend, and your fantasy baseball draft, as well as current events, like the Curt Schilling online trolling story.
