Desmond is a journalist from Boise, Idaho. As an avid Dallas Cowboys and San Antonio Spurs fan, I am thankful to be working with the Landry Hat and Air Alamo FanSided sites. Previously, I have covered other NFL and NBA content with platforms such as 247 Sports, Total Apex Sports, Stadium Rant, and Last Word On Sports. I also run a personalized blog on WordPress called the "Its My Turn To Talk" sports blog. I love what I do and I am eager to continue to grow with the FanSided family.
