About McCord

Love baseball and NASCAR equally and follow all sports to keep up with the many fantasy leagues I'm in. If it's on TV, or their boxscore is on the internet, I'll play fantasy anything...darts....billiards...calf roping, doesn't matter, I'm in!

Happy to be able to contribute to Bleacher Report. This site is loaded with talented writers.

    Joe Montana - 4 Super Bowl wins not bad

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan changed everything in modern basketball, and all not for better

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky gave hockey its last push into mainstream America; Orr never got there outside of Hockey cities. An absolute Giant

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele - not even comparable; 3 world cup wins in 4 tries, along with actually having success in America with it's fans with the NASL.

    Sampras just because he played against tougher, and better opponents.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger narrowly

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Earnhardt had success against more quality teams and a lighter schedule. Petty raced 56 times a year on occassion making it quite easy to get 200 wins and it was against lesser funded teams.

    Schumacher

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

    Prefer Pac-10 in all sports, but doesn't make it better.
