Marino's Bio

My grandmother used to say Roberto Clemente was her favorite Cub.

It was because she liked his good, strong Italian name.

All Time Sports Moment

Wild beat the Avalanche in Game Seven overtime, first round of the '03 playoffs. And I'm not even a hockey fan.
Most Memorable Game Attended

June 30, 2000. The day after John Rocker's first appearance at Shea Stadium after ripping New York. Mets rally from an 8-1 deficit with a 10-run eighth inning, and the sellout croud launches into a spontaneous, sarcastic Tomahawk Chop chant.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Joe DiMaggio's 56-game streak.
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth.
Unitas or Montana?

Montana.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan.

Marino,

I wrote an article on the History of the Packers - Vikings rivalry. While of course, I'm a Packers fan, I think I was pretty fair with this article and that Vikings fans will enjoy it also. If you agree, please spread the word in your community. I'm posting this just to the Vikings Community leaders.

Oh, I also encourage readers to leave their opinions of what will happen in Lambeau...

I love The Sporting News. And I look forward to its top 100 players every year.

That doesn't mean I can't disagree though...
