Eric's Bio

I love the Pittsburgh Penguins, nothing more needs to be said. I've been a die hard fan since I was old enough to understand sports in general. I went to my first game when I was 5 years old, and have been hooked ever since.

Like a typical Pittsburgh sports fan, I hate all things Philadelphia, most especially the Flyers. I'm usually not the typical run-of-the-mill writer when it comes to sports, so if I say something to offend you or your team, please don't take it personally. Unless of course that team is based out of Philadelphia, then by all means, do take it personally, because it is.

I used to watch football all day long, every Sunday, until about two or three years ago when it suddenly became just plain boring to me. I realized that the time I was spending watching players huddle-up after every play was time not very well wasted.

The Patriots are cheaters and Bill Belichik ranks in the top 10 on the list of most obnoxious human beings, right below Mike Emrick, Eddie Olcyzk, Tiger Woods, Ben Roethlisberger, Terry Francona, John Stevens and Don Cherry.

Golf is not a sport, it is a hobby. Golfers are not athletes, they are people who excel in their hobby. Hitting a ball and then walking for 5 minutes to find it is by far not a sports-related activity.

So basically, I live and breathe Pittsburgh Penguins hockey. You can check out my blog at : www.pensevolution.blogspot.com if you have absouletly nothing else to do with your life, but if your expectations are high before you click the link, you will be letdown.

I have recently become the Community Leader for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Any questions, comments, concerns, hate mail, etc. can be e-mailed to: EKuz3082@msn.com. Feel free to run any article ideas by me or if you're just looking to talk Pens, I'm always willing to throw in my two cents.

Q: What's the difference between Marian Hossa and the Joe Louis Arena??
A: Only one sells out....

All Time Sports Moment

May 10, 2001- Darius Kasparitis scores the game winning goal in OT of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Most Memorable Game Attended

Dec. 27, 2000- Mario Lemieux's first game since coming out of retirement. Mario had a goal and two assists in an epic performance.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Nothing's impossible but Ripken's 2,632 consecutive games played probably won't ever be broken because guys sit out a game when they have a stuffy nose now-a-days.

Ruth or Mays?

Willie Mays Hayes from Major League. "Play like Mays, run like Hayes."

Unitas or Montana?

Johnny U, the Pittsburgh boy.

Jordan or Russell?

MJ. Hands down, the greatest basketball player of all time.

Gretzky or Orr?

Lemieux

Pele or Maradona?

Are those bullfighters? Soccer's a joke.

Federer or Sampras?

Gary Roberts

Tiger or Nicklaus?

Golf isn't a sport. This category should say "300-pound uncle or 14-year old girl" because both of them could excel at golf.

Petty or Earnhardt?

"3" was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Not much of a NASCAR fan, but i'll go with the Intimidator.

Schumacher or Senna?

Gary Roberts

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

Big East- PITT

    Thanks for the info man. I couldn't really commute given I'm on the other side of Westmoreland county in Delmont. Oakland is my first choice though. And believe me there will be bloodshed if my roommate doesn't want to watch Pens games.

    No problem man. I love your writing style.

    Seeing that you're a fan of the Johnstown Chiefs, are you from there? I ask because I visited UPJ recently (I'm going to be a senior in high school), and heard it was a dry campus. Are there still good, drunken parties? I liked the campus, but was told that and it seems like it might get boring without good parties.

    Eric, I'm getting a hockey roundtable together and I want you to be in on it. If you would like to take part, please EMAIL me your answer to this question in about two to three paragraphs.
    (Email is nyr1199@comcast.net)

    With the draft long passed and all the big name free agents gone off the market, what teams do you feel did the best during this offseason? Also, what teams did the worst during the offseason? And please explain why.

    Thanks,
    Greg Caggiano
