Erik Evans’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

My career originally did not begin in media: I was a data scientist and a trial attorney. However, all of these positions have shared the same fundamental characteristics: exceptional attention to detail, processing and conveying complex data and concepts to a variety of audiences – from the informal to the expert, tight deadlines, progressive responsibility and supervision in fiduciary capacities, high volume workloads, highly competitive environments, commitment to professionalism, and a requ…

Gump Day: Yes, Brent Venables is stealing signs. No, he’s not cheating…this time. But he’s not alone Original

Happy Gump Day, one and all. Let’s dive into the Foosball this morning. It’s of the Debil. Better than morning coffee. The Alabama Crimson Tide checked in last night at No. 4 in the CFP rankings, mirroring its placement in both the AP and Coach’s polls.

And, in many ways, it will be the most challenging, as all three are defensive-minded, with the Barn and Sooners being fully elite on that side of the ball. First up is wannabe’ rival, LSU, tonight at Bryant Denny Stadium. But that doesn’t mean you have to sit around aimlessly waiting for the Tigahs and Tide to kick off.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

I grew up with a typewriter: the last generation to do so. Not too bad for a bunch of Grunge Slackers, eh?

How is social media changing news?

Social Media has changed news in several respects. The speed is obviously the first; the second is that social media too often becomes news.
