THE SPORTS COURT

The Sports Court www.thesportscourtblog.com is an online sports media company based out of New Jersey. The Sports Court (TSC for short) is known for their in-depth interviews with high profile athletes.

Origins The Sports Court was launched in July of 2019 by then 13 year old Chris Dailey. After a month, Dailey's cousin, Michael, joined. Chris focused on the soccer section while Michael worked on the hockey section. The two interviewed nearly 30 athletes including David Rowley (footballer), Jake Keegan, and Rob O'Gara in their first two months. Then, in November, Chris landed TSC's biggest interview to date with Saquon Barkley. The interview helped put Dailey on the map and news outlets took notice. News12 New Jersey/NY did a feature on Dailey which caught the eyes of many locals from around the state

More interviews and credentials Dailey received his first ever credentials in August of 2019 for a game between the New York Red Bullsand Colorado Rapids. From there, Dailey also received credentials for a Baltimore Blast game, the 2021 Rose Bowl, and for the NFL Hall of Fame online media days. Dailey's biggest interview came in August of 2020 when he interviewed NBA legend, Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq had high praise for the then 14 year old Dailey. Dailey has also interviewed the likes of the Notre Dame Leprechaun, Grayson McCall, and Mike McGlinchey (offensive lineman), amongst 150+ others. Dailey also writes editorials and posts daily sports content on TSC's instagram. Dailey was featured in WNDU / NBC - South Bend for his work at the Rose Bowl
