About Ed »

Veteran sportscaster, 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.

The Shortlist »

  • 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

    Diehard Mets fan and always watching great college football.

  • 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.

  • Pele or Maradona?

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

  • Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

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