Take's Bio

Fred, the writer better known as Take Ten, brings a combination of hard-nosed yet quick witted writing prose with a healthy dose of intelligence and attitude which reflects his Philadelphia roots. An English class standout in his earlier days, he showed sparks of literacy brilliance in draft workouts, this writer was thus projected as a "can't miss" prospect. Take Ten projects to be solid starter for a writing team looking for a dynamic wordsmith who can play multiple positions. Fred often enjoys commenting on the NBA, NFL, MMA, Golf, Tennis, and sports in general.

Take Writes About

The Short List What Take thinks about sport's most pressing questions

  • Favorite Athletes

    Tiger Woods, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Brian Dawkins

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Philadelphia 76ers, Philadelphia Eagles

  • Favorite Coaches

    Bill Parcels, listening to this guy's press conferences was fun.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Wayne Gretzky Career Points: 2857 (Runner up: Mark Messier 1887)

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. Russell dominated teams, but Jordan dominated the entire industry.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer definitely. Career Grand Slam, 14 majors. Win streaks that are mind boggling... plus I've watched Federer do things that Sampras might have been able to do, but certainly never did.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger. Re-invented the game period. We now must regard golf as a real sport with a real athlete like Tiger leading the way.

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

    Big East

  6. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote The Year Too Early NFL All-Decade Team.

  7. The trade deadline came and passed, and the Phillies didn't get Roy Halladay.

    What the team did get however is a reigning Cy Young award winner who could very well be the key to the Phillies repeating as World Champions.
