Dan Levine is the Editor-in-Chief for Rivalspot, working with each of our talented, unique writers. He's a man of all sports, with a particular love for the NBA and NFL, and with a soft spot for baseball games on hot summer days. His Toronto teams have given him little to cheer about, but his 2007 New York Giants helped ease the pain... momentarily. Levine is a journalism graduate and wrote for several organizations before jumping to Rivalspot in late 2009. He longs for the day that the Raptors, Leafs or Jays become relevant and makes up for their failures by dominating with those teams in NBA 2K, NHL and The Show.
