About Todd »

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.

The Shortlist »

  • 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?

    Federer

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Earnhardt

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    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.

    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.
