Cliff's Bio

To check out my blog, click http://www.oldschoolsportsworld.blogspot.com/

I am ageless. I live in West Virginia and love to talk baseball. I am always ready to express my views and will not back down from a debate about sports. I was Old School before it became trendy. My favorite teams are the Cincinnati Reds and the Washington Redskins. I love baseball, football, college basketball, boxing, UFC.

If you want, leave a post and I will read your article and offer a comment.

Unitas or Montana?

Joe Montana was, in my opinion, the best quarterback who ever took a snap in the NFL
Jordan or Russell?

Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Abdul Jabbar, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Bob Petit, Dave DeBuschere
Gretzky or Orr?

Being Old School I'd like to take Orr, but realize it would be a foolish move.

For all of those out there who say baseball should have a salary cap, prepare to have some knowledge dropped on you.

Brad Lidge, Brian Fuentes, Jonathan Broxton, and Mariano Rivera got it done.

Huston Street, Jonathan Papelbon, Ryan Franklin, and Joe Nathan did not.

The first four will be playing in the next round. The last four will not.

I think that's proof just how important closers are to their respective teams in the playoffs...
