About Emile »

I am a sports journalist living in Chicago, a short walk away from Wrigley Field. I graduated from Miami University of Ohio, where I majored in journalism and had the pleasure of serving Ben Roethlisberger stir fry at the dining hall once.

I have worked at sports desks from Cincinnati, OH to Aurora, IL and have covered just about every sport.

I love talking Bears, Orioles, Reds and Terps basketball and football. And yes, I acknowledge I'm all over the map with my sports allegiances. But I've lived in D.C., Cincinnati and now Chicago, so don't say the words, "fairweather" or "bandwagon". Besides, who is a bandwagon Orioles fan anyway?

Feel free to check out my resume and some clips at www.emiledawisha.com.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Daniel Manning, Matt Forte, Jay Cutler, Adam Jones (the baseball player), Juan Dixon, Greivis Vasquez, Derrius Heyward-Bey
Favorite Sports Teams

Chicago Bears, Baltimore Orioles, Terps Basketball, Terps Football, Cincinnati Reds, U.S. Soccer
Favorite Coaches

Lovie Smith, Mike Ditka, Ralph Friedgen, Gary Williams
All Time Sports Moment

Maryland basketball winning the 2002 National Championship
Most Memorable Game Attended

An O's - Indians game in 1997 (?), in which Mike Mussina took a no-hitter into the ninth inning.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cy Young's 511 wins
Ruth or Mays?

Mays, because he was one of the best center fielders ever to play. Ruth was a defensive liability.
Unitas or Montana?

Unitas, only because he had a razor sharp buzz cut.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan. Russell wasn't even the best player of his time (Chamberlain).
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky. A 215-point season...enough said.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele. He scored two goals in the '58 finals..when he was 17! He is the only player ever to be part of three World Cup winning teams.
Federer or Sampras?

Federer. He's a better all-round player.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger will be considered the greatest golfer ever once his career is over.
Petty or Earnhardt?

making 500 left turns is not my idea of a sport.
Schumacher or Senna?

Formula-1 is a little more interesting, but still not my cup of tea.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

ACC basketball: best fans, best rivalries, and most exciting style of play. ACC football: Well that's another story.

I remember being at Camden Yards when Eddie Murray was trying to hit his 500th dinger. 60,000 orange signs that all said "Eddie" on them. He struck out 3 times. Ha. Its nice to know that there are no band wagon Orioles fans. At least its easy to get tickets.
