Former 49'er great Roger Craig high-stepping his way across the goal line for his third touchdown in Super Bowl 19 en route to earning MVP honors in San Fran's emphatic 38-16 victory against Miami and rookie Dan Marino.
Most Memorable Game Attended

My 2005 Wedding. All together now...OUCH!...Well...it was a game...
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point outburst. Sorry MJ. Sorry Kobe. Sorry LeBron. Sorry David Stern.
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth, of course. Heck, the last time I check, Mays doesn't have his own candy bar.
Unitas or Montana?

Come on, already! Defintely Montana. Besides, he was armed with a better supporting cast and his uniform wasn't dull-looking like Unitas, whose gear was as tight as, shall we say, John Stockton's.
Jordan or Russell?

MJ. The late great Ray Charles could see this.
Gretzky or Orr?

The Great One.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele.
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras, hands down. The Tim Duncan of pro tennis.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Um, given Tiger's recent struggles, it's a toss-up.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Earnhardt
Schumacher or Senna?

Shhhhh.....pssst...Schumacher...but don't tell Senna I said it.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Conference USA! I know it's now pictured, but I graduated from a C-USA school.

This is something I've been meaning to write for quite some time. The Jets defense is above average. But because it's a New York team and because they have a popular D-cord at HC, they are hyped....to the max.
