Angry Takes by Aiden Rutman: My Top 10 

The other day, my brother reached out to me for help on a college supplemental essay. It was an application for Wake Forest, and the question simply asked him for his “Top 10.” It didn’t specify what, leaving the question as open-ended as possible. We had a friend who had previously done her top 10 song lyrics of all time, but I advised him to get a little more creative […]

Angry Takes by Aiden Rutman: What’s wrong with the Buffalo Bills?

The Buffalo Bills will always share some sort of special connection with VandyRadio for me. For the entire first semester of my show – and you can ask my co-host Owen – I was about as bullish on the Bills as one could be. I was all in on them winning the 2022 Super Bowl from October of 2021 onwards. Looking back at it, I can say that 17-year-old me […]

Angry Takes by Aiden Rutman: The Return of the NBA

The NBA is officially back. Well, sort of. The NBA preseason began this weekend as the regular season, which tips off two weeks from today on October 24, is rapidly approaching. Let’s talk about it.

Angry Takes by Aiden Rutman: How I fell in love with baseball 

How can you not be romantic about baseball? I know it might be a corny question to ask, seeing as it is used all the time whenever anything slightly emotional happens in the sport. The line, while its definitive origin is unknown, was made popular in the 2011 hit film Moneyball. Brad Pitt – playing legendary general manager Billy Beane – poses the question to his assistant GM during a […]

Angry Takes by Aiden Rutman: The Vast Hellscape that is the running back position

Aaaaaand we’re back. It was a rough week for me in pretty much every facet of the word. It started with a concussion that I suffered last week, keeping me out of all my classes and preventing me from getting any work done or attending any classes. It continued when I watched (and I mean listened, as the concussion prevented me from looking at screens) in horror – albeit expected […]

Angry Takes by Aiden Rutman: Head Coaches and Head Scratchers

Welcome to Week 2 of your (least) favorite blog, Angry Takes by Aiden Rutman. You might be wondering why I felt so compelled to include my full name in the title; it’s a combination of hubris and accountability. I’m no different from the average sports fan – I love to make hot takes and let them fly in the wind, but I almost never get the chance to revisit them […]

Angry Takes by Aiden Rutman: The Existential Feeling of Dread that comes with being a New York Giants Fan

For those that know me, I’m sure you can guess what this blog post is going to be about. For those that don’t, however, allow me to paint the picture. There I am, in my old-timey, Lawrence Taylor New York Giants Jersey, anxiously awaiting for my hometown team to kick-off at 7:20 p.m. CST. After the NFL’s first full Sunday slate of the season left some teams excited (looking at […]
