About Alex »

My entire life has been revolved around sports. Whether it was watching "Major League" or the "Giants Among Men" video which recapped the 1990 season. I didn't watch Disney movies growing up, my life was consumed by sports, and I loved it then, and I love it now. I personally think I am the biggest New York Giants fan there is. Ive cried about the Giants three times in my life, twice in defeat (2000 Super Bowl, 2002 divisional playoff round to the San Francisco 49ers) and once in joy (Super Bowl 42).
I currently play baseball in college but my true love is football. I played when I was younger but was seriously injured so my playing days were over. It is probably a good thing that happened because I am just too slow, too small, too everything wrong to be playing football, but at least I can admit that, right?
I am new to this Bleacher Report, but have enjoyed my experiences so far. Keep the comments coming, as I love to hear what other Giants fans think about.
