About

I'm Sam, an Economics graduate from Reading University, UK. Originally from Birmingham, I was raised an Aston Villa fan, and continue to support them until the day I die.
Whilst at university I became bored with the English version of the game due to it's monopolised format, so looked across the pond to see what I could find. As a lover of all things New York, I began researching and watching all things Big Blue. The game and the Giants soon found a way into my heart and I love to talk about the world champions, endlessly promoting them and the game to anyone who sticks around long enough to listen.
I'm looking forward to writing for Bleacher Report, particularly about English Premier League teams who don't get the coverage the Manchester and London clubs get, and also for Giants fans, as I hope to use this a vehicle to further my knowledge on American Football.
