About

Hello Everyone,

I'm an editor for Bleacher Report's Breaking News team team. I joined Bleacher Report as a contributor in 2010 and completed the Bleacher Report writing internship during my junior year at ASU (go Sun Devils!). I've lived in five states, but call the Bay Area home and went to high school in Vacaville, California.

I follow the 49ers religiously, which catalyzed my passion for the NFL Draft during the Dennis Erickson, Mike Nolan and Mike Singletary years. I've been cursed with the daunting task of supporting the Golden State Warriors. I worked for the Giants during Spring Training for a few years during my time in Arizona. I would take Kobe Bryant over Michael Jordan, believe Alex Smith will win more Super Bowls than Peyton Manning and shed a tear when Monta Ellis was traded to the Bucks.

Some people at Bleacher Report call me Goose, my family calls me Kyle, and you can call me whatever you'd like.

Follow me on Twitter @ASU52. Email me at kvassalo@bleacherreport.com with any questions, comments or concerns. Thanks as always for reading!

    Kyle, the e-mail that I got for your props on my article said I should thank you. Instead of just me thanking you, I will leave you a link to a Dido song, because she can say thank you far more lovely than I can via these crazy internets. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TO48Cnl66w

    I like to go back to old articles and see what they look like now, and boy were you wrong on saying 49ers should switch to 4-3!
