FAQ

What Makes Bad Dawg Sports Different from ESPN or Other Major Sports Networks?

Answer: “Bad Dawg Sports brings you the insider perspective that mainstream media simply can’t match. As a former athlete and grandson of MLB players, our founder, JJ, understands the game from the inside out – not just as an observer, but as someone who’s lived it. We combine this authentic athletic experience with exclusive press credentials from organizations like FIFA, CONCACAF, and major MLS teams to deliver insights you won’t find anywhere else. While big networks focus on ratings and controversy, we focus on the real stories that matter to passionate sports fans worldwide.”

How Do You Get Access That Other Sports Media Don’t Have?

Answer: “Our access comes from credibility built over the years in the sports world. JJ’s background as a former athlete, sports agent, and someone who worked in NFL counter-terrorism gives us unique entry points into the sports community. We hold exclusive press credentials with the New York Red Bulls and maintain relationships with organizations from the USMNT to international federations like Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Lebanon, Morocco, Pakistan, Egypt, Brazil, Israel, South Korea, and more. This isn’t just about knowing the right people – it’s about earning respect through authentic involvement in the sports world, not just covering it from the outside.”

Why Should I Trust Bad Dawg Sports Over Established Sports Journalists?

Answer: “Trust comes from understanding, and understanding comes from experience. Our team includes former athletes who’ve competed domestically and internationally, giving us insights that traditional journalists – who may have never stepped onto a professional field – simply can’t provide. We’re not chasing clicks with hot takes; we’re sharing the real stories because we understand what actually matters in sports. Plus, our military family background instills a commitment to accuracy and integrity that you can count on.”

What’s Your Approach to Covering International Sports?

Answer: “We believe great sports stories happen everywhere, not just in major US markets. That’s why we cover everything from PWHL Vancouver signings to Trinidad & Tobago World Cup qualifiers to Formula 1 races. Our global perspective comes from actually being involved internationally – we have press credentials for competitions across multiple continents. While other outlets might mention international results as afterthoughts, we treat them as the compelling stories they are, because passionate fans exist everywhere.”

How Do You Balance Being Fans with Being Objective Journalists?

Answer: “Being passionate fans actually makes us better at this job, not worse. We understand what fans really want to know because we are fans ourselves. However, our professional experience – from sports agency work to counter-terrorism – has taught us the importance of factual reporting. We bring the enthusiasm of true fans combined with the discipline of professional standards. That means we’ll celebrate great plays and call out poor performances, but always with the respect that comes from understanding how difficult it is to compete at elite levels.”
