About Sam »

*** DUE TO LOADS OF SCHOOLWORK AND MY CONQUEST TO START A SPORTS WEBSITE (NOT A BLOG), I WILL NOT GET THE CHANCE TO WRITE AS MUCH AS I PREVIOUSLY HAVE OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, HOWEVER, I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN DO TO WRITE ABOUT WHAT THE YANKEES DO IN THE PLAYOFFS***

Born and raised a Yankee fan, Sam was raised during a dark period of Yankee history. Throughout Sam's childhood, the team would win just 95 games a year and make the playoffs routinely, but would simply never win the world series. He was also raised a Jets fan (that speaks for itself), and considers himself fortunate to be able to say he has a stronger arm than the former QB of the Jets (here's a hint, his name isn't Brett Favre). Though his unathleticism and pudgy build stopped him from playing the game, Sam simply couldn't stay out of it. His combined love of writing and sports led him to the greatest sports writing website of all time.

Now you know me.

If you post on my bulletin board I will ALWAYS read your article and ALWAYS respond, and if I like your article, well, all I can say is you have a new fan.

You can follow Sam's quest to be a sports journalist on this crazy twitter account: http://twitter.com/foge94

Since all else has failed, I see no reason for the Knicks not to sign Allen Iverson.
