The Short List What Joe thinks about sport's most pressing questions

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)
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cal Ripken Jr.'s 2,632 consecutive games. Not many players make it 16 years in the league, period, nevermind not taking/needing a day off.
Jordan or Russell?

It'll always be Jordan.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

A10! Respect!
