About Swipe Sports
Sharp sports takes. No filler. Swipe Sports covers the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, college sports, soccer, WWE, sports media, and culture with our distinct voice. Every piece starts with a take, not a recap, not a wire report, not a press release rewrite. Original opinions, original analysis, original angles.
What We Do
Every story gets a take, a framework, or an angle you won't find anywhere else. Our writers react to trades the moment they drop, build analytical frameworks from publicly available data, find the absurdity hiding inside institutional decisions, and cover the culture stories that mainstream sports media won't touch.
Swipe Sports is an opinion and analysis publication, not a newsroom. We work from the public record: box scores, league data, filings, broadcasts, and the reporting of the journalists who break the news, credited and linked in every piece. The authority is in the take, the rigor of the analysis, and the clarity of the writing.
The Staff
Derek Hanson — Editor in Chief
Founder of Bloguin and Swipe Sports. Sets the editorial standards, built the fact-checking process and handles corrections.
Nick DeLuca — Columnist
Fan-first takes delivered at full volume. Covers NBA, NFL, and whatever just broke on X. If the take is too hot, blame him.
Jess Navarro — Columnist
Sharp opinions backed by evidence. Covers NBA, MLB, and soccer with the precision of a closing argument.
Ian Prescott — Columnist
Reads everything so you don't have to. Links the trade rumor to the cap math to the coaching decision no one noticed.
Ty Baskin — Blogger
Names the injustice and brings the heat. Covers NFL, NHL, and the systems that keep screwing over the people who care.
Ben Trotter — Blogger
Finds the absurdity hiding in plain sight. Covers NHL, MLB, and NBA with amused detachment and a scalpel for institutional stupidity.
Naveen Iyer — Analyst
Turns publicly available data into frameworks you actually remember. If the numbers tell a story, he finds the structure to make it stick.
Dani Cortez — Culture Writer
Watches the discourse and tells you what it reveals about the audience. Covers WNBA, lifestyle, and the stories sports media avoids.
Editorial Standards
Every article is fact-checked before publication. Stats are verified against primary sources and official league data. We attribute all reporting to the original source. We don't fabricate scenes, invent dialogue, or claim expertise we don't have.
Our editorial voice is opinionated by design. We believe sports writing should have a point of view. Opinions are stated as opinions and supported with evidence, never dressed up as insider reporting.
