About Matt »

I am soon to be a senior at Northeastern University and I am majoring in Journalism. It's starting to feel like I want to pursue a career in sports journalism, as it is by far the type of news to which I pay the most time and energy. My blog is at thehighlightreel.wordpress.com and you may find me writing articles for the Huntington News at Northeastern in the near future. I am a die-hard New England sports fan and most of my original B/R articles will focus on the Red Sox, but The Highlight Reel focuses on videos and news from across all sports.

Most Memorable Game Attended

Pedro Martinez striking out 17 Devil Rays...In a 1-0 loss.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Ted Williams, last batter to hit over .400. Will NEVER be done again
Ruth or Mays?

Mays, because he was the original five-tool player
Unitas or Montana?

Unitas, because he didn't have the greatest receiver of all time to throw to
Jordan or Russell?

Apples or oranges?
Gretzky or Orr?

Orr, because nobody changed the game as much as he did, and I'm a Boston guy!
Pele or Maradona?

No real opinion here, but I'll take Pele
Federer or Sampras?

Federer, because I'm old enough to appreciate his greatness
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger, for the same reason as Federer
Petty or Earnhardt?

I hate NASCAR
Schumacher or Senna?

I hate Formula 1 even more than NASCAR
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Not a big college basketball fan, but I guess I'll have to go with the ACC because of BC

Hey Matt,

People of my generation look at them fondly as the players they watched as little kids, people of other generations may just look at them as great players. I created a slide show highlighting the best players of the 1990's. If you get a chance, take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Hey Matt,

There was a touching moment in the Mariners game last night, made possible by the best pitcher I've ever gotten to watch - Randy Johnson. Watching history unfold inspired to me take a look at his incredible career and count down his five best moments, in my eyes. If you get a chance, take a look at it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

Many people around the NFL are naming the Patriots as the favorite even without giving iot much thought. The Steelers are still in town. The Steelers should be the early favorites as we head to the 2009 season, instead of the Patriots. Would love feedback. Let me know what you think.
