About

At 5'9, 180 lbs. and listed as Fullback #20 in your programs thanks to an error with the printers, Sean Scampton is a four-sport (football, basketball, baseball, and chess) career backup and budding sports writer. Although he was captain of his high school swim team, so there is that. Sean is looking to turn three of his passions, namely sports, writing, and working in your undies, into a career. He loves competitive sport in all shapes and sizes. He has a particular passion for the NFL, the NBA, the MLB, the NHL, as well as Fantasy Football.

Sean joined the Bleacher Report to meet other sports writers and fans. He is also here to practice his own skills and to improve upon them with the help of the Bleacher Report community. Sean writes for Focus Magazine in Lakeland, FL and is currently pursuing more freelancing opportunities in the Minneapolis, MN area. If you like, you can contact him at sscampton@gmail.com.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Derrick Brooks, Dwight Howard, Ken Griffey Jr, Mike Alstott, Josh Freeman, Ronde Barber

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa Bay Rays, Tampa Bay Lightning, Orlando Magic

  • Favorite Coaches

    Tony Dungy, Greg Popovich, Mike Sciosia, Joe Maddon

  • All Time Sports Moment

    In 2004, Ronde Barber intercepted Donovan McNabb near the end zone and ran it back 99 yards for the game sealing TD, sending my hometown Bucs to its first Super Bowl.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Cal Ripken's consecutive games played record (2,632 games)

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays. If Ruth plays in May's era, he isn't as dominant and wouldn't have the cool pitching stats. If Mays played in Ruth's era, he would have cleared 800 home runs before turning 33. Mays was a man playing a boy's game, while Ruth was more like a ringer in a men's church softball league. That means that Ruth was far superior than his competition, but would have been destroyed by the big boys.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana. It's close, but Montana can call scoreboard with 4 rings to Unitas' 1.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. At one point in time, I would have said "Russell" for the purposes of standing out, but I cannot deny the otherworldly status of His Airness. Put it this way, thanks to advanced metrics becoming more and more popular, we have a slew of stats that argue that Jordan was actually underrated! If Jordan was playing today, he'd still be the greatest. If Russell was playing today, despite workout advantages and his legendary competitiveness, he'd probably still be the 4th or 5th best center.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Earnhardt. How he managed to dominate races like that, I'll never know. We will never see a guy like him again.

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

    I want to say the ACC. I do. But the SEC is the strongest conference overall.

    When it comes time, remind me, because I tend to get wrapped up in writing on here and another site; I never discount an inner-division opponent. Those are the teams to watch out for, and I know how solid the Bucs play at home, period.

    Yeah, I saw that you're a Bucs fan, all the more reason to become a fan so in the event the Bucs sneak up on my Cats, you can bust my chops about it, lol. I don't discount the Bucs at all, especially inner-division games, unless they get banged up. Looks to be a very interesting season for the NFC South as a whole, however.
