About Kristopher »

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.

The Shortlist »

  • Favorite Athletes

    Bo Jackson, Kent Hrbek, Kirby Puckett, Anthony Carter, Walter Payton, Cal Ripken

  • Favorite Sports Teams

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

  • 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, I like a guy who plays defense.

  • 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.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Petty. The King.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Schumacher. Vrooom.

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

    Big 10. Or Big Eleven.
