David Roth, The Writer

The online place in which I compile the different things I write for the different people and places for which I write them. Also videos of my parents' new dog, when possible.

Hey Wow

I'm obviously not writing any of these posts about finding lawyers. That's obvious, right?

What I'm Doing Here

I've written a great many words for a great many different venues; recently I did this for SBNation.com, and now I am doing it at Vice Sports. I will only very occasionally write things here, or even link them; following me on Twitter would be a better bet if you want to be fully updated (regularly, on all my goofiest thoughts). But I will do some writing/linking here occasionally. Questions or comments can be addressed to droth11@gmail.com.
