I'm a Philadelphia Eagles fan. I live on the Central Coast of California where I grew up, and I'm finishing up my MA here at Cal Poly SLO. I love responding to people's articles. I'm a basketball nut, but there's nothing in the world I love more than talking football. Forgive me if I don't write many articles. I probably write more interesting responses than articles. Nobdody knows the game where live except for most of my friends, and I already know what they have to say about most of these topics. I just appreciate being able to go somewhere where I can talk sports with people that pay attention to what's going on.

I played sports most of my life. I have alot of friends that I played HS & college ball with that made it to the next level, so I feel like that might've been in my future as well. Unfortunately, my playing career was shut down by a major car accident. I've been coaching ever since. I've coached a Semi Pro team for 7 years, and when I'm done with school I plan to someday work my way through the collegiate ranks and into the NFL.

Favorite Athletes

Brian Dawkins and Brandon Roy, Randall Cunningham, Tony Dorsett, Charles Barkley, and Jamal Mashburn
Favorite Sports Teams

Philadelphia Eagles, Portland Trailblazers, Hawaii Warriors, and all Pac-10 teams
Favorite Coaches

Jim Johnson - I love the way he's not afraid to engage so many guys and still be able to have the offense's initial threats taken away. Dick LeBeau - I can't lie. I run a 3-4, and I steal some of your overload blitzes. I'm utterly impressed with the way he breaks down protections. Pete Carroll - I love the way he coaches, and I try to mirror his enthusiam.
All-Time Sports Moment

The NY Giants beating the unstoppable Patriots in the Super Bowl. Sorry Eagle fans, but seeing the G-Men win THAT GAME made me happy. I just hated that Patriot's team THAT MUCH.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Cal Poly came back from a 30pt halftime deficit against UC Davis. I was only in Jr HS, but that was the most exiting game I've ever attended.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

I don't know. I'm sure there's some badminton, Iditarod, or High Stakes Poker record that nobody will EVER care enough to break.
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth. Baseball players weren't trained like they are today. He just dominated a bunch of good ole boyz.
Unitas or Montana?

Montana. Nobody that's ever played football has ever had the "It Factor" like Montana. I hated him when I was little, but when I look back now I can appreciate his contributions to the NFL.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan was the greatest basketball player that ever lived, but Russell was the Lord of the Rings.........so I don't know
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky. I grew up watching Kings games on Prime Ticket. The Great One made everybody better.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele. I don't know much about soccer, but if Pele's not the greatest then why doesn't the saying go,"hey, kick it over here Maradona?!!"
Federer or Sampras?

I'll go with Sampras. Federer can wait till he's done for the comparison.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger. It impressed me how he's played hurt.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Uhhhh, I don't like Nascar.
Schumacher or Senna?

I don't even know what sport this is...
ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

PAC 10. Why even bother listing the rest of those?
