About

I'm a lifelong Minnesotan, so I've seen my share of promising teams fail to reach the championship. The Vikings in 1998 and 1987, as well as the Golden Gopher Basketball team in 1997 sting the most. As a Twins fan, 1987 and 1991 were great, but that seems like a long, long time ago. Someday, the sports teams in this town will attain glory. Someday.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Bo Jackson, Kent Hrbek, Kirby Puckett, Tommy Kramer, Walter Payton, Cal Ripken

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Minnesota Golden Gophers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Minnesota Twins, Oakland Raiders

  • Favorite Coaches

    Tom Kelly, John Madden, Lou Holtz, Tom Flores, Jerry Burns

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Jack Morris pitching 10 shutout innings in Game 7 of the 1991 World Series.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Kent Hrbek's final game at the Metrodome in 1994. Strike-shortened season.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Hank Aaron's all-time HR record. No cheating!!

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays. Ruth was "nothing more than a fat old man, with little-girl legs."

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana. Unitas had a better haircut and better shoes though.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. Not that Russell's a slouch.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky. They don't call him "The Great One" for nothing.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele. Although I do like Material Girl and Get Into the Groove.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Sampras. American bias.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Nicklaus. The fist pump and the red on Sunday annoy me. Edit-Should this even be a debate anymore?

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Tough to go wrong with either. With great moustache comes great responsibility.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Don't know. Don't care.

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

    Big 10. Or Big Eleven.

    Hi Kristopher,

    I'm going around to fellow Big Ten fans to gage who they would most like to see as the conferences 12th member in the expansion. Since I see you're also a ND fan, I understand how you might be torn on the issue.

    Should Notre Dame come to the NFL for a coach?
