Todd's Bio

I grew up in Pittsburgh and bleed black and gold. I'm most passionate about the Steelers and Penguins but also follow the Pirates (when they aren't 100 games out of contention). I am now a roving member of Steelers Nation, having lived in several different places over the last twenty years, but have never had a hard time finding lots of Steelers fans regardless of where we have ended up. I'm also a big college football fan, following Air Force (and the Mountain West Conference), Pitt and Penn State. My wife and I have three girls who I am working on turning into Steeler diehards.

Favorite Athletes

Ben Roethlisberger, Lamarr Woodley, Hines Ward, Sidney Crosby, Troy Polamalu, Max Talbott, Evgeni Malkin, Casey Hampton
Favorite Sports Teams

Pittsburgh Steelers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Pittsburgh Pirates, Air Force Falcons, Penn State, Pitt
Favorite Coaches

Dick LeBeau, Mike Tomlin, Dan Bylsma, Ken Whisenhunt, Troy Calhoun
All Time Sports Moment

Miracle on Ice (1980 Olympics)
Most Memorable Game Attended

Air Force - Hawaii twice (they were at Hawaii so that might have something to do with it)
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Roethlisberger's record win streak as a rookie quarterback (15 games)...don't see that one getting broken this millenium. Another one would be most Hall of Famers (4) in one draft class (1974...Steelers). That will NEVER be broken.
Ruth or Mays?

How about Clemente instead?
Unitas or Montana?

Montana...for now
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan
Gretzky or Orr?

Lemieux....obviously
Pele or Maradona?

Pele for his role in Victory
Federer or Sampras?

What up everyone? I wrote an article about the changes here on B/R over the last couple of months, and about some of the things that we used to have, that we don't anymore. If you could, check it out.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/261261-dear-bleacher-report-please-bring-back-the-old-format

As I have said in the past, many times, I am not on here for AOTD votes, but I believe that if enough of you give me your AOTD vote, then maybe the higher ups will bring back some of the things that are gone.

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.
