About

I am a graduate of the University of Glasgow where I studied Film Journalism. I am a devoted Arsenal FC fan and a keen NFL enthusiast. My favourite team are the Washington Redskins, although I do have affection for the New York Giants. Despite both these teams competing in the NFC East, I avoid divided loyalties. Well, most of the time anyway!
I am looking to develop a career in writing akin to my love of sport and cinema.

    Check out this video Belgian football club Club Brugge made on Party Rock Anthem. Besides being freaggin' awesome, it also contains a lot of subliminal messages and it's becoming a youtube hit fast (100k views on 2 days).

    Poor analogy below because "fanforlife" is a moron. It's not like being a fan of the redskins and cowboys, cause that would be the same thing as liking giants and redskins. It would be like being a fan of Arsenal and Manchester City or Lakers and Spurs/Kings. Or even Texas Rangers and L.A. Angels for further examples that actually make sense.

    You can't be a fan of the Redskins AND the Giants...IMO. It doesn't work that way. That's like being a fan of the Redskins AND the cowboys. Everyone in the NFC East are arch rivals & despise each other. If you want to have ANY credibility as a journalist with anyone in Redskins Nation, then you must choose sides, & you know what side I'm referring to.

    HTTR!!!

    James, Liked your analysis of yesterdays game. I think you hit the "repair" points on the mark. My biggest problem is that Mike Shannahan has not brought the team in to a completely cohesive TEAM. I don't know how to get them running as a well oiled engine. They should be there by now. I'm not a "Molder of men" that's his job and the job of the Coaches. A lot of the mistakes and the really dumb stuff could be eliminated it the Members of the Team were talking to each other and learning as much as possible about how each guy plays. I'm looking forward to you next "Skins" report.
