A working journalist since 2007, Jason covered many beats during his time as a freelancer and staffer at a variety of New Brunswick newspapers — plus a spell in Beijing as a middle school teacher — before transitioning into sports full-time in 2015 when he started with theScore as a news editor. There, he spent seven years writing and editing sports posts (primarily baseball but with fantasy sports and video games thrown in the mix). During this time, he was also a freelance movie critic writing reviews of theatrical and Blu-Ray/DVD releases while also covering the Toronto International Film Festival, and interviewing various filmmakers. He joined Covers as a publishing editor in 2022 where he has continued to apply his knowledge and expertise on all things baseball and other sports. And while he doesn’t write film reviews anymore, he looks at the industry through the betting lens by regularly monitoring Oscars odds.

Guy goes all in with something like Jack-Five off suit and goes up against Ace-10. I watch as he hits the river and stays alive. I go out within the next few hands and finish in 8th out of about 500 people. They paid the top 7.
