"A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein" -Joe Theismann
Norman Einstein's Sports & Rocket Science Monthly is published the first weekday of every month. The magazine brings you diverse talent dishing on sports from a variety of perspectives. In long form and freeform, our writers, photographers, and artists get up-close and personal to their subjects, attacking sports from unique angles you won't find in other magazines or on other websites.
The Einsteins don't traffic in speculation. We deliver stories. Punditry is for those other geniuses. We come to play.
