About

I'm a lifetime sports fanatic. I grew up mostly in North Carolina and have always been an NC State Fan. I was a Hornets fan when they were in Charlotte, I have been a Bobcats and Panthers since they were created. Hometown sports are big to me, even though I live across the country now. I follow them all as closely as I can, and probably closer than those living in the city since I have to work so much harder to do it.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Mugsy Bogues, Steve Smith, Julius Peppers, David Thompson, Tom Gugliotta, Lebron James, Larry Johnson

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Charlotte Bobcats, NC State Wolfpack, Carolina Panther, Atlanta Braves

  • Favorite Coaches

    Jim Valvano, Herb Sendek, Bobby Cox

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    Zo's buzzer beater in the playoffs for the Hornets in the 1993

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    The game above, 1993 NBA playoffs, game 4 first round Boston at Charlotte

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Single Season NBA scoring mark, Wilt Chamberlin- 50.4 a game

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Gotta go with Ruth, but that's a tough call

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana, mostly because I grew up watching him and have only seen snipets of Unitas

  • Jordan or Russell?

    That's tough, Russell is the reason we count blocks and he has more championships. I guess Russell it is.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky, I think he changed the game more, but again, I never saw Orr play

  • Pele or Maradona?

    No idea, not a soccer fan

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Sampras, although I was an Agassi fan when they were playing. Pete just dominated for so long, Federer could get there if he keeps up his high play

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger, he just seems so far ahead of everyone else. I only saw Jack at the end of his career though.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Petty, no one is even close in the win column

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    No idea

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    ACC, but that's my prejudice. I feel it's fallen some recently, but I still think it's the best and most consistent conference in the major sports, men and womens
