About

Living in upstate New York, I am a lifelong New York sports fan - Yankees, Giants, Knicks, Rangers, and Syracuse Orange . Most beloved of those teams are the Yankees and Giants. You'll find me both most passionate and most critical of those two.
While I've never written on a professional level, I have always seemed to use writing as an outlet. My Math background will often show up in my writing in the form of backing up what I am saying with statistics. I am very active in fantasy sports - baseball and football and, usually am the person my co-workers come to when they want a Superbowl pool or a March Madness pool. Most of my days at work begin with discussions of games the night before.
I look forward to plenty of banter on the articles I write. Feel free to follow me on twitter - where you'll see many of my opinions on sport and politics- at @oswegos1 and check out my "Off the Wall" column here at http://thefanmanifesto.com/author/steve-skinner/ .
