All Time Sports Moment

Music City Miracle. I was there.

Most Memorable Game Attended

Super Bowl XXXIV

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Joe DiMaggio's hit streak. Too many distractions in the modern day sporting world.

Ruth or Mays?

Ruth had more tools, but lesser competition. Mays could take your breath away. Advantage: Ruth.

Unitas or Montana?

Unitas revolutionized the position, while wearing black shoes. My stomach turns everytime I see The Catch. Advantage: Unitas.

Jordan or Russell?

Jordan could beat you 23 different ways. Russell was the consummate big man. Advantage: Jordan

Gretzky or Orr?

Only time I saw Gretzky live, he dished out five assists. Orr could beat you on offense and defense. Advantage: Gretzky

Pele or Maradona?

At the risk of alienating most of the rest of the world, any sport that can determine its world championship on the basis of a 0-0 tie, I have no time for.

Federer or Sampras?

Federer has tremendous tools. Sampras dominated when men's tennis was at its peak. Advantage: Sampras.

Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger will be the best ever. But will he ever have a moment like the '86 Masters? Advantage: Nicklaus (till Tiger gets that 21st major, that is...)

Petty or Earnhardt?

The King is the king. The Intimidator brought the sport to respectability. Advantage: Petty

Schumacher or Senna?

I can neither confirm, nor deny. Barely have enough room in my head for the IRL, much less Formula 1.

ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

Brought up in Big 12 (actually, Big 8) country, lived my adult life in SEC country. Kinda depends on the sport, but overall...gonna go with the Big 12.
