About

Writer, editor, mammal. Longtime Nashville-based print journalist, covering music, sports and technology. (In other words...he's a professional geek.)

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Growing Up: Roger Staubach. Started writing about sports: Troy Aikman. Pro sports in Nashville: Bruce Matthews

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    NFL: Titans, Cowboys. NHL: Predators, whoever's playing the Red Wings. MLB: Indians, Brewers. NBA: Spurs, Mavs. NCAA: OU Sooners, ACU Wildcats.

  • Favorite Coaches

    Jeff Fisher and Barry Trotz. (I'm a Nashville homer...sue me.)

  • 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.
