The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Tom Brady, Kevin Youkilis, Cuttino Mobley, Lamar Odom, Papelbon
Favorite Sports Teams

I'm a Boston sports homer, so it's Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and Bruins for me. Also University of Rhode Island basketball, University of Florida football.
Favorite Coaches

Coach K, Belichick, Tito, Frank Keaney
All Time Sports Moment

The year the Sox buried the curse - 2004. (Stow those Manny asterisks, me hearties)

It'll always be Jordan.
