About

Veteran sportscaster for ESPN, FOX Sports, CN8, ABC Radio and plenty more. Have been lucky enough to attend just about every championship game or series held in American sport. This also means meeting my share of athletes and those connected with athletics, thus allowing me to share their experiences and learn more about what makes them tick. Never really cared to be one of those reporters who can quote stats all day long, rather spend more time on issues and what happens under the surface. Howard Cosell said it best when he titled his reports "Telling It Like It Is". You'll get that attitude in every word. No holds barred. No favorites asked for and none accepted. I also invite everyone to join me and my colleagues at "Sports Media Masters" (http://sportsmediamasters.com). The only web site featuring the daily best from National and regional beat reporters, video from a wide variety of sports sites, links to sports talk radio stations across America, and a whole lot more.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Muhammad Ali, Jeff Burton, Dan Marino, and every other athlete who has something to say during an interview other than "you know."

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    If it's in Boston, there you go. Came to love these teams after covering them for 4 years.

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Being in the locker room and doing interviews with the Boston Red Sox in their 1st World Series title to break the so-called and completely non-existent curse.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Too many to mention, been to every Title series in almost every sport. Might have to be the "Hail Flutie" pass between BC and Miami.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    The 56 game hitting streak and the Celtics run of championships. Never happen.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Depends on what you're talking about. Ruth changed the sport forever, Willie had a style unlike no other. Until he ruined the memory with that awful Mets stint.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Joe Montana, without a doubt. Again, Unitas changed the sport forever, but there is no QB who had the vision of Montana.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Russell. He changed the game forever.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky. Amazing talent.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Seriously? Maradona was a flash in the global pan. Pele has no peer.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    The Golden Bear. A real class act.

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

    The best football is played in the SEC. The ACC may be the most competitive, and the Pac-10 is the most overrated.

    Much has been written about the Steelers, the 1970s, and their use of steroids. The current public perception is the Steelers began and glamorized the use of roids in the 70s. Read my article to find out who one man, with 4 NFL teams, spread the use of steroids throughout the NFL, beginning in 1963, and see just how pervasive roid usage was by the time the Steelers began their decade of dominance.

    "John, my thanks for the comment. I will never find entertainment nor amusement in Barkley, and can only hope the people of Alabama have more common sense than those who cannot read. Have a great Holiday, Ed."
