Brendan's Bio

I'm an avid Baltimore Ravens fan and my first sports love is to football (as a fan, anyway- I am a rower myself). I go to college at Williams College in western Massachusetts. And don't ask me about baseball, because I view the commencement of baseball season as God's curse to the world.

Brendan Writes About

The Short List facts and information about Brendan Majev

Favorite Athletes

Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Adalius Thomas, Tom Brady, LaDainian Tomlinson, Cal Ripken

Favorite Sports Teams

Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots.

All Time Sports Moment

My favorite is Jermaine Lewis's kick return for a TD in the 2000 Super Bowl that put the Ravens up 24-7. 21 seconds game-time before that, the score was 10-0. Ravens CB Duane Starks picked off Giants QB Kerry Collins and returned it for a TD, 17-0. Giants WR Ron Dixon returned the ensuing kickoff 90+ yards for a TD, 17-7. Jermaine Lewis's 84 yard return TD got momentum right back on Baltimore's side, and they never looked back. Objectively, though, the single greatest sports moment is two words long: The Shot. Christian Laettner, Duke vs. Kentucky. And I hate Duke, so that just goes to show you how awesome this moment was.

Most Memorable Game Attended

I've actually never been to a seriously important game, I usually watch it on TV. This might have to be when the Ravens beat the Broncos in Baltimore in the Wild-Card round of the playoffs en route to their Super Bowl win in 2000.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

As much as I profess to hate baseball (true), the answer is 2,632. That's the number of consecutive games played by Cal Ripken Jr. In today's game of baseball, people take days off. I actually don't think anyone can pass this- Ripken played for 13 years in a row just to get to Gehrig's record and then he kept going after that.

Ruth or Mays?

Baseball isn't my thing, but it's got to be Ruth.

Unitas or Montana?

Unitas. I'm from Baltimore, even if I'm young. His son was a year ahead of me in high school.

Pele or Maradona?

I watched World Cup when it was on TV. I've never heard of Maradona and I don't know who Pele played for.

Jordan or Gretzky?

I'm registering Michael Jordan vs. Wayne Gretsky. Jordan, because I don't really follow hockey.

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

ACC. Come on now, I was a Maryland fan growing up.

    I would normally agree ... but he seems to have a soft spot for Kiffin. An Kiffin has a point ... they need more picks.

    Thanks for reading and responding!
