    Barry Sanders will never be matched. As far as today's jocks go, I'd have to give the nod to Tiger Woods (real original, huh?)

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, Detroit Pistons, Detroit Red Wings (seeing a pattern?)

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Chicago Stadium national anthem in the NHL All-Star game the day after the U.S. invaded Iraq the first time around. Wayne Messner and that crowd were unbelievable!

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    The game in 1968 when Don Wert's ninth-inning single earned the Tigers the A.L. pennant. I was 8 years old and it seemed like the whole world went nuts.

    56-game hitting streak by Joe D.
