UGASports - About Us

Here is a quick guide to the writers and contributors at UGASports.

Radi Nabulsi has been covering Georgia football since 1993, first as a team photographer and later as a team/recruiting writer -- finally putting that Grady School degree to use. He joined UGASports in 2007 and later went to ESPN for two years. Nabulsi returned in 2014 as the publisher of this site and now just tries to stay out of the way.

Paul Maharry writes, watches film, and talks into a headset every Tuesday night about the Bulldogs. He started with UGASports in August 2014 and has been a thorn in Radi's side ever since. Maharry has always been fascinated with college football recruiting and even helped out some in the football recruiting office at UGA. He graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts in Digital and Broadcast Journalism in 2013. One day, he'll make it on the big screen, but until then, you can find him sipping on sweet tea and living the dream.

Dave grew up in South Florida, but as he puts it, he had to get away from Gator fans. He graduated from the University of Georgia and went to work for ESPN in Bristol, Connecticut. McMahon helped write and produce highlights and features for SportsCenter, College GameDay, Baseball Tonight and other studio shows. He left ESPN, moved back to Georgia and worked at FOX Sports South as the lead Broadcast Associate. CBS Sports found McMahon and picked him as their lead statistician in the graphics truck for the SEC game of the week in football. He has been doing that since 2002 and has been assisting CBS in other sports such as college basketball, gymnastics, tennis and golf. He has also co-hosted and produced a radio show in Athens for 960 The Ref and has been the research consultant for several documentaries. He has worked Super Bowls, World Series, Masters, Olympics, All-Star games and more, but his dream would be to work the National Championship in football with Georgia playing it (and winning of course).
