Sports columnist Sam Borden grew up in Larchmont, graduated from Mamaroneck High School and has spent all 29 years of his life following the local sports scene. The drama of sports has always fascinated him, and his columns are designed to take a side or tell a story. The best days are the ones where he gets to do both.

Hello everyone, it’s Sam Borden, your friendly neighborhood sports columnist, here in the basement of Giants Stadium along with the rest of the Big Blue press corps. A few years ago, when I was working as a columnist in Jacksonville, the team allowed the press to watch the draft in one of it’s larger team [...]
And please don’t say LT. 56 was a great leader but as a President? Whoa. Strahan would be interesting, if only for the hilarious photos of him and his big gap-tooth smile right next to some frowning foreign leader.
Anyway, this is the question we’re talking about on FACEOFF today. Come on over, bring some decent [...]
Hey all, Sam here. Just wanted to mention that I wrote a column in today’s paper and on LoHud.com saying that Plaxico Burress should NOT be back with the Giants next year. I know what the players have said and I know what Jerry Reese has said/intimated … and I still think it’s a bad [...]

Hey all. Sam here. First, I wanted to thank everyone who joined Mike and me for yesterday’s live lunchtime chat. We had a great time talking football and I hope more of you take part the next time we do it (which, depending on how this weekend goes, could be next week).
As for the Eagles-Giants [...]
Happy New Year, all. Sam here with a thought or two about Giants-Eagles.
Before I became a columnist, I covered baseball for the Daily News and spent the better part of four years around the Yankees. During that time, I watched somewhere close to 100 Yankees-Red Sox games. And they were all special.
I remember talking to [...]
Good morning, Giants fans, and congrats on locking up the No. 1 seed last night. I was sitting next to Mike last night at Giants Stadium and it was quite the scene; the only downside was the high number of morons who were throwing snowballs – dangerously hard and icy snowballs – all over the [...]
Greetings from Albany, where it’s gray and awful outside. Perfect football weather, no?
The players were filtering in this morning and will be taking their conditioning tests this afternoon. A large group of reporters waited outside the dorms where the players will be staying on the campus of SUNY-Albany, and Rich Seubert got the proceedings off [...]
