I’m sure you noticed the new name. Mark One Sports is now in the past, but man was it fun. Honestly, I started this company during the pandemic as my ass was planted on the couch for 3 months like many of you. I didn’t really expect it to turn out the way it did, but then again I didn’t know what to expect at all. I’m just a die hard sports guy, I bleed all Cleveland colors, I gamble like a degenerate and the government wanted me to sit at home. So VOILA, Mark One Sports was born. 

Needless to say, everything was put together about as loosely as it could. Let’s start with the name. Hell, most people thought my name was Mark. Others thought it had some sort of deep family root, or meaning. The truth is, I’m just an Avengers nerd, and laying on my couch binging anything Marvel during this time off led me to Iron Man (my favorite Marvel character) and his original suit of armor… Mark One. So yea, I decided to talk sports and get weird using a name not tied to what we are discussing, or any real meaning, other than who doesn’t love Tony Stark? Makes sense. 

It all was a learning experience to say the least. You find good people to work with and bad. You find things that work and things that don’t, just like anything else in life. At the end of the day, Mark One Sports was active for only one full year. We garnered thousands of followers on our social media platforms, created a kick ass golf outing, had beat reporters in our Cleveland teams locker rooms, we interviewed several athletes and people of importance, hell we even made the New York Times TWICE in that year. Mark One Sports gave us a lot of fun, and most importantly it gave us experience to turn the page here with IQ Sports. 

You can expect some of the same in this chapter. The content that many grew to love like “Cle TribeCast”, “The Mark One Sports Show” and our Movie Reviews(IQ Reviews) aren’t going anywhere. You’ll see some rebranding with them, but the same great content nonetheless. You’ll also enjoy the new stuff. “IQ Sports Advisors” is up and running giving you the sports betting edge, “Dawg Shit” will be a fun new look at the Cleveland Browns, we even have some content for the outdoorsman in the works along with so much more. 

You’ll see some new brands and new faces, but our motto stays the same “Our mission is to bring passion to the news and sports that we love, in the same way our listeners are passionate about these topics they see and hear each day. Our biggest promise is that you’ll never see a dull moment with IQ Sports.”

So let’s fucking go!!
