Favorite Sports Teams

Boston Celtics (they were still No. 1 on this list during the 15-win season, so no bandwagon thoughts), Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots, Boston Bruins and all Northeastern University sports.

All-Time Sports Moment

Tied with the Red Sox coming back from three games down to beat the Yankees in the ALCS and go on to win the World Series in 2004 (obvious, but gotta go with it).

Most Memorable Game Attended

The Weymouth High School boys hockey team's 2-1 victory over Catholic Memorial in round-robin play of the 2007 Super Eight tournament.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Ripken's consecutive games played streak. Cy Young's career wins record probably shouldn't be considered because of how baseball has changed.

Ruth or Mays?

Ted Williams. He has a higher career OBP and BA and I'm a homer.

Unitas or Montana?

Brady. (Then Montana, who has more rings and more efficient numbers than Unitas. Still, the Pete and Pete episode about aliens seeing old satellite footage of Johnny Unitas 40 years later is epic.)

Jordan or Russell?

Russell. I mean, the guy has more rings than fingers.

Gretzky or Orr?

Orr. He was a plus-124 with 139 points as a d-man in '70-71. Also, no weird spousal gambling issues that make me wonder if he threw his wife under the bus.

Pele or Maradona?

Pele. No justification because this doesn't involve a Boston athlete. (Joking—I'm really not much of a homer. Just predisposed to side with locals on a close call.)

Federer or Sampras?

McEnroe.

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

What, no Colonial Athletic Association? What gives?
