Jake's Bio

I am a die hard New York Giants' fan. The Giants are my primary focus, but I really like writing anything about football: college or pro. Basketball and baseball are cool too, and along with football, are my main topics of choice. Occasionally, I may throw in another sport, but not too often will I find the time to do so. My favorites are the NY Giants, LA Lakers, NY Yankees, USC and Rutgers for all sports, and Duke for basketball. I also am a fan of Florida, Florida State, Miami (don't ask why all three), Texas, and Notre Dame. I've been writing on this website for almost three months, despite what it says under my name (I have no idea why it says 11 months. I made my account three months ago!) I'm trying to get better as a sportswriter and am looking for any opportunity I can get my hands on. Feel free to comment on any of my work, since I'm always open to new ideas and opinions. Also, shoot anything my way that you might want me to look at. I like reading what other people have to say.
