About Ed »

from the south side of Chicago, but I'm a Cubs fan (thanks for nothing mom and dad). Give me some bears, bulls, cubs, blackhawks and notre dame football/basketball and I'm all smiles. Recent grad with a degree in Public Relations, but sports have always been my passion. If I could get a job in sports communications, I'd dance the Charleston on top of the Empire State Building.

    Devin Hester returning the opening kickoff of Super Bowl for a TD in 2006....the 50 of us watching literally lost our minds.

    2003 NLDS Cubs vs. Braves Prior vs. Maddux Game 3

    RUTH

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer, but Sampras was great in The Simpsons

    Petty, but my knowledge of NASCAR is limited to 2 or 3 racers.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    the first one

  • Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

    Big 10 is my hometown but SEC or Big 12 rule all
