About Rory »

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!

Does it count as a sports article if I write about how much I hate the new Bleacher Report profile layout?
