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.

Favorite Athletes

John Elway
Favorite Sports Teams

San Francisco Giants
Favorite Coaches

Dick Williams
All Time Sports Moment

Boston Red Sox beating Yankees in 2004 ALCS down 0-3
Most Memorable Game Attended

2001 Daytona 500 when Dale Earnhardt passed
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cy Young's 749 complete games; never ever will happen again
Ruth or Mays?

Babe Ruth - pitch and hit at highest level; are you kidding?
Unitas or Montana?

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.
Federer or Sampras?

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 or Senna?

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

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

I'd appreciate your feedback and I hope you like it, if you find me worthy!

Thanks in advance. - HB

I would like to see Burton or Harvick win the Ford 400. They have shown some improvement in the past weeks.

Hi McCord, how are you?

I'm gearing up for the Memphis Nationwide race soon! I hope to provide everyone with some good coverage.

Meanwhile, David Yeazell wrote a very intriguing article about radically revamping the Cup Chase that I'm sure he would love to get your comments on:
