A Sherrod Blakely Bio | Wiki
A. Sherrod Blakely is an American journalist. He currently serves as an NBA contributor to BostonSportsJournal.com. Sherrod launched his journalism career as a college freshman by working as an agate clerk at the local paper, the (Syracuse) Post-Standard. Little by little, those short agate filings resulted in bigger agate filings. However, the calculus changed after Sherrod broke the story that one of Syracuse University’s top football players was ineligible.
The journalist never had a coach scream and cuss and yell at him before. He kind of liked it. From there, opportunities opened up to cover ACC men’s basketball and football at the Raleigh (NC) News & Observer. Sherrod shifted his focus towards digital journalism after sensing the newspaper world was changing and when it wasn’t the biggest game in town.
A growing force in elevating sports content on digital platforms in the state made him leave Tobacco Road for Mlive.com in Michigan. The journalist had a chance to cover the Detroit Pistons, a front-row onlooker to historic NBA moments such as Detroit’s improbable 2004 title run, the Larry Brown Era (both years), as well as Malice at the Palace.
After he was hired by Comcast SportsNet New England (now NBC Sports Boston), Sherrod had a great run working as their inaugural Celtics Insider. The journalist delivered content on all platforms including some sideline reporting while at the same time mixing in breaking news like the arrival of Shaquille O’Neal to Boston.
