- Dan Favale
Dan first began writing about sports back in 2011. At the time, his expertise lied in the NBA and NFL. More than one decade, that remains the case. But he's also expanded his catalog to include extensive knowledge and analysis on the NHL, MLB, tennis, NASCAR, college basketball, certain esports and, most notably, the sports betting news industry at large.
Basketball is Dan's first love—and remains so today. It is still, to this day, the sport he spends the most time writing and talking about. If you're a fan of his work, you've probably seen his work at major publications, heard him speak on his own podcast (Hardwood Knocks) and a multitude of other shows or seen one of his snarky posts on X (formerly Twitter) stumble across your timeline.
Capably covering so many sports does sponge up a ton of Dan's brainpower. In his spare time, though, he has taken up amateur bodybuilding—which, if we're being honest, is probably just a fancy way of saying he's a wannabe fitness junkie.
Regardless of what he's doing, Dan is bound to have either a podcast or, most importantly, some emo rock playing in the background. He grew up on blink 182, a band he still religiously worships to this day. And in recent years, he's become an avid fan of Youth Fountain and Hot Mulligan—two of the best when it comes to writing and playing sad music that sounds happy.
Education
Dan graduated from St. Joseph's College in New York after initially spending one year in the John Curley Center for Sports Journalist at Pennsylvania University. While that program was nationally renowned, Dan was at the time concerned about how geared towards traditional media it was. Switching specialties from journalism to a general English degree and attending St. Joseph's College ending up serving him well, as it gave him the freedom to develop an online voice and presence that's help keep his career afloat for nearly 15 years.
Professional Achievements
Dan has appeared on numerous sports talk radio shows, livestreams, TV spots and podcasts over the course of his career. He is also the founder of the Hardwood Knocks podcast, which covers the entire NBA and has been around in the mainstream since 2015.
