Lenn Robbins
Sports Journalist
Summary
Hi, I'm Lenn Robbins, a long-time sportswriter who still holds the detention record at
Bildersee Junior High School in Brooklyn, N.Y., where I was born and raised.
I came out of the womb a Mets fan, was baptized a Knicks fans and through the power of TV,
became a Cowboys fan, which explains why I'm in group therapy.
The name of my fantasy football league team is Sexual Chocolate. Anyone who can
explain the origin of said team name, please hit me on Twitter @LennRobbins
I live in NYC with, Nicole, who I have nominated for sainthood for putting up with Lenny
the Loser, and three really cool young guns - Harry, Gwen and Colin as well as a
ridiculous neurotic but sweet rescue mutt, Linsey, who is afraid of flies in the house.
True.
My journalism career started at Greenwich Time in Greenwich, Connecticut where I was
awarded a varsity field hockey letter (one of my most prized possessions) before
moving to The Record (N.J.) and then the NY Post where I covered everything except
curling, despite covering the 2004 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, where I shorted
out the ski lift because I didn’t know when to jump off.
I’m a two-time APSE winner and the recipient of the Metropolitan College Football
Writers Association's Good Guy Award (also a prized possession). Despite looking
more like Herman Munster than Idris Elba, I was a college basketball and football
insider for ESPN, where I got to interview LSU QB Matt Mauck on Canal Street, the
morning after the Tigers won the national championship. After working for the Brooklyn
Nets for two seasons, where learned not to cry when Kevin Garnett gave him the hairy
eyeball, I now teach sports journalism at several NYC-area universities and am on a
constant search for the perfect parlay at BetBasics.com.
