The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

George Atkinson, Eric Karros, Eddie Jones
Favorite Sports Teams

Los Angeles Dodgers, UCLA Bruins, Los Angeles Lakers, Oakland Raiders, Anaheim Ducks
Favorite Coaches

Tommy Lasorda
All Time Sports Moment

December 2, 2006. UCLA upsets 2nd ranked USC, 13-9, ruining the Trojans BCS title hopes and preserving the Bruins' series best 8-game win streak.
Most Memorable Game Attended

October 8, 2005: #20 UCLA defeats #10 Cal by a score of 47-40. Things didn't start off well for the Bruins as Cal scored two quick touchdowns, but Maurice Drew single-handedly decimated the Golden Bears' defense, scoring 5 touchdowns, including the game winner with 1:35 left to play.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cal Ripken, Jr.'s streak of 2,632 straight games played.
Ruth or Mays?

I hate to say it as a Dodger fan, but Willie Mays.
Unitas or Montana?

I hate to say it as a Raider fan, but I'm going with Montana.
Jordan or Russell?

Michael Jordan. Russell was a winner in every sense of the word, but as a friend once said, "Michael was ahead of his time" and I'm just thankful to have been witness to him.
Gretzky or Orr?

The Great One.
Pele or Maradona?

In watching old clips of his play, I gotta say Pele, O Rei de Futebol.
Federer or Sampras?

Roger Federer.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger Woods.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Dale Earnhardt.
Schumacher or Senna?

Senna.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Pac 10. 'Nuff said.

Hey Brian!
I just wrote an article on five backup QBs that should start for the Raiders instead of Jamarcus Russell. If you could check it out and leave some feedback it would be greatly appreciated.
