  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots, Celtics

    Terry Francona, Red Auerbach, Jerry York, Frank Spaziani, Claude Julien

  • All-Time Sports Moment

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Boston College Frozen Four Hockey Game, Spring 2004

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Wayne Gretzky - 2,857 career points or Cy Young - 511 career wins

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays was a better defender, Ruth was just in a different league than most other guys when he played. Ruth pitched though, so that makes him more well rounded and impressive. Ruth.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana because of the number of rings.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. As much as it pains me, and no one can deny 11 in 13 years, Jordan never lost in the Finals.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    There's a triumvirate in hockey history. Orr is the reason Gretzky could do what he did. Orr revolutionized the game and led the league in scoring as a Dman. Gretzky perfected what Orr started, had vision no one could match and made everyone he played with look like a HOF'er. Left out is Lemieux, who was probably as good as Gretzky, but didn't play a full career. Who's the winner here? Hockey.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Petty?

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Schumacher?

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

    ACC

    Hey Dan, I just posted this on your pitchers in for possible decline article. Hope it helps......
    sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Busy man!!! I've only checked the site a couple times in the last few weeks. Anyways, great analysis on the work you did. Noone can say anything about what you provide in terms of breadth of knowledge and what to look for. The only thing I can say about this article is that the type of pitchers you are using come from drastic different backgrounds. I know that you're just looking at the whole league and I get that. But to better improve this you could very easily have taken pitchers of the same type of talent or pedigree and given a much more astute look at the topic. By taking Haren and that type then throwing in some no name pitchers like Tallet or Duke you really give some discredit to the weight of your article. Just a thought, otherwise, keep up the great work. Look deeper and maybe its too hard to find enough info about similar guys, but I believe it can be done.
    GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

    If you're a fantasy football freak like I am, you're already gearing up for the season, running mock drafts like it's your job, and analyzing ADP's and potential stats in order to build the perfect team. This article might help, and your thoughts would be greatly appreciated whether it does or doesn't, lol. Check it out though:

    Hey Dan,

    I have to agree with you on CC Sabathia.

    Or maybe that's just my BoSox bias talking :)

    Dan I enjoy the made up mathematical numbers. I'm not quite sure what they mean, but I assume that it requires a lot of long division, a process that I never knew how to do in the first place.

    From your friend who's BAPIPFIP is off the charts.

    Remember, we wear caps and sleeves here.

    Hey Daniel,

    People of my generation look at them fondly as the players they watched as little kids, people of other generations may just look at them as great players. I created a slide show highlighting the best players of the 1990's. If you get a chance, take a look, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

    Hey Daniel,

    If you own Joe Mauer in any of your fantasy leagues, or if you're just curious if he can continue his recent power surge, check out this week's fantasy focus. I'd love to get some feedback from you, as well as your thoughts on Joe Mauer. Thanks!

    Hey Daniel,

    There was a touching moment in the Mariners game last night, made possible by the best pitcher I've ever gotten to watch - Randy Johnson. Watching history unfold inspired to me take a look at his incredible career and count down his five best moments, in my eyes. If you get a chance, take a look at it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot.
