About Giles »

I've been passionate about sports for as long as I can remember. I've also been passionate about writing for just as long. I guess I'm perfect for this site, huh? I graduated from Northern Illinois University in 2008 with a degree in journalism. I'm interested in writing about a variety of topics, but I'm more knowledgeable about sports than anything else. I'm a big White Sox, Bulls, Bears and Blackhawks fan. My favorite sport has always been baseball and team the White Sox, but I do like all of the big four sports.
