About Steve »

I briefly wrote for the NIU's daily newspaper, the Northern Star, and before that I was the sports writer/columnist for Triton College's Fifth Avenue Journal. I just love sports, and I see this as my chance to write about them a little bit.

My favorite player is the Player to be Named Later. Talk about a multi-sport athlete, that guy's everywhere!

The Shortlist »

  • Favorite Athletes

    the Player to be Named Later. He's good, and plays in several leagues.

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Bears, Chicago White Sox, Chicago Wolves (AHL), NIU Football.

  • All Time Sports Moment

    The 2005 White Sox World Series title.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    It was the 1992 Norris Division Finals game 4, at the old Chicago Stadium between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings. Scoreless late into the third, Brent Sutter of the Hawks picked up a rebound in front of Wings goalie Tim Cheveldae, and tapped it in with 1:34 left in the game. The Stadium erupted, and no one sat for the remainder of the game. The Hawks won the game, and swept the hated Wings out of the playoffs.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Gretzky's 92 goals. No way anyone gets 80 with the way teams play defense these days, and goaltending is far and away better now than it was in the 1980s.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays. Better all around player.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele.

  • Federer or Sampras?

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    #3

  • Schumacher or Senna?

  • Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

    I'm in Big 10 country, so there you go. But I'm a student of the MAC, and we all love the MAC. GO HUSKIES!

Thanks for noticing i used the Calder, figured id leave it up there till someone noticed. Id hoped it would give me enough time to find something better but finding a trophy to call my own is impossible.

Hey Steve--

I'm trying to get some Sox fans together here on BR to do a little roundtable after the Detroit series, and I'd love for you to be a part of it. Shoot me a message back if you're interested and I'll let you know the details.

I'd love to take Phil Rogers' position as national baseball writer with the Trib, but I got a long way before I can even think about getting that job. But hey, if you get a column with one of the major Chicago papers, keep me in mind...
