About

I'm Alex, I'm from London, and I have a job as a journalist. Check out my blog - The View From North America - http://viewfromnorthamerica.blogspot.com that I hope you'll look at at some point.
Oh, and I also have a column on the UK's biggest commercial website, Sky Sports. Here's the link: http://www.skysports.com/opinion/0,25219,16560,00.html

Oh, and I sent out the odd Twitter too - it's @viewfromamerica

Thanks for reading my profile. Hopefully you'll actually read some of my articles!

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Michigan loses at home to Appalachian State, 2007, Yankees with the Series in 1996, Aaron Boone in the ALCS vs the Red Sox, Penn State vs Ohio State 2005, going to Bristol Motor Speedway on a big night in August, QPR getting promotion at Sheffield Wednesday

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Being in the middle of the Penn State vs Ohio State game in 2005, in the "White Out". Also David Well's perfect game at Yankee Stadium; 2003 ALCS (THAT Aaron Boone Game vs Boston); the day baseball came back after 9/11 at Fenway Park; going to my first college football game (ASU vs Stanford - ASU wins in overtime)

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Joe DiMaggio. Oh, and if we're talking the days of non-juice, Bonds' home run record. And Wayne Gretzky's too....

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ruth, of course. Though I'd take Mays' glove over Ruth's anytime!

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana. Actually screw them both. Give me Brady or Peyton Manning anytime.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Michael Jordan of course! Is there any question?

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky - by a mile. Wish I could have seen either of them play....

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele. Also Ronaldinho before he put on all the weight - he moves are breathtaking. I also worship David Beckham's right foot. Especially when taking a penalty against Argentina.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer. He may have lost the Wimbledon Final against Nadal, but he was incredible. I like him a lot.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger. He wins trophies will standing on one leg. Speaking of golf, I'd like to choose Europe's Ryder Cup golf team.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Earnhardt. Petty's a nice guy though - I've met him. Also give me Mark Martin, a really, really decent advertisement for NASCAR

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Senna - most exciting driver of them all. Look at Mansell vs Senna at Monte Carlo (1991) for details

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    SEC and Big Ten. PSU play in the Big Ten, but the SEC's so, so much fun to watch. A perfect mix of pass and run. For girls? The Pac-10!

    Hey, that's pretty neat with the whole Sky Sports deal! How'd that come about? And sorry about any confusion regarding punctuation, as punctuation must be enclosed inside the quotations, not outside. We Yanks are just weird that way.
