I’m going to start this journey with a confession that has nothing to do with football. I did not know that Edgar Allan Poe was American. To all of my teachers through my 18 years of education: I’m sorry.
Details of how or why I did not know this information aren’t important. His name just has big Sir Arthur Conan Doyle energy so I assumed he was English, and there was never a point in my life where it mattered enough that I’d bother to confirm that misinformation.
