Ruth or Mays?

Williams

Unitas or Montana?

Brady

Jordan or Russell?

Russell. Somehow winning 11 titles in 13 years is underrated and underappreciated.

Gretzky or Orr?

Orr

Pele or Maradona?

Messi will be better than both when it's all said and done, and it'll be so obvious that this short-list question will cease to exist.

Federer or Sampras?

Can't go wrong with Fed.

Tiger or Nicklaus?

Nicklaus

Petty or Earnhardt?

No. 3 in your program, No. 1 in your heart.

Schumacher or Senna?

Schumacher, if only because I played his Sega Genesis video game in the mid-90s.

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

Not a big college sports guy outside tourney time, but you can't help but admire the SEC.
