Rory's Bio

I joined the Bleacher Report team in 2008 as assignment desk editor.

I'm a fantasy football addict and a lifelong sports nut who gets pumped up by watching the Pete Sampras puking match on YouTube at least once a week.

I'm a Bay Area sports guy, so I've spent a lot of hours pulling for the A's, Niners and Warriors. Lately, that means I've also spent a lot of hours cursing Huston Street, Mike Nolan and the ghost of Billy Owens.

Thanks to all for contributing to the site, and keep delivering the good reads!
