Words of Wisdom:

Having moral courage and doing the right thing does not mean doing what's easy. Don't forget to laugh at yourself. - PSJR

"This is a business and you're taking it very, very personally. Isnt that right, Tom?"

"Why, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker is just not your game. I know, let's have a spelling contest!"

Fr. J. Corapi
"If you constantly see the darkness in others, are always concerned about it, continuously pointing it out in others; then you concern yourself with darkness too much. It occupies you. You become enveloped in it and then become dark yourself. Instead, be the Light"

The Short List What Patrick thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

Every REAL Yankee (Gherig, Joe Di, MUNSON, O'Neil, Clemens!), NY Rangers, NY Giants or Fighting Irish
Favorite Sports Teams

NY Yankees. Ny Giants. NY Rangers. ND Fighting Irish Football.
All Time Sports Moment

The PERFECT UPSET Play!!! Both Boston Massacres (Dent and Boone). Clemens 300th win, and 4,000 K in "One Night at the Stadium", Munson 550 in the WSC.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Jeters walk off, season opener Vs Red Sox, 2006. ninth inning, Varitek homers and tied it up. bottom of the ninth, capt America at the plate...first pitch...bang. game ov-ah. Buffalo Sabres vs Montreal Canandians in Buffalo...The War of the Border! fans going at it more than the players. Go Rangers
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

56 game hit streak in 1941 & 10 rings Thanks Joe Di Maggio -The Best! 20 strike outs, one game, twice by Roger Clemens
Ruth or Mays?

Lou Gherig. Joe DiMaggio. And of course Ruth, he was the best Pitcher ev-ah with 2 years, 650 innings, less than a 3 ERA! wow. And move the fences back to 450 and show me who could hit 61 in one year! He out homered the league!
Unitas or Montana?

Eli "The Perfect Upset" Manning..."Leave the gun, take the canoli"
Jordan or Russell?

I wannabe like MIke
Gretzky or Orr?

no comment, love all hockey! Should be Gretzky or Howe, OR Leech and Orr-position means everything
Pele or Maradona?

what! "Jazz Hands, Jazz Hands... Anything with Jazz Hands! I do the hussle, just like you"
Federer or Sampras?

Tom Hanks - The Bachelor Party-It is high, it is far...it is gone! A homer over the tennis court fences :o)
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Bobby Jones-the best, and was a crippled amateur! Jack did it with a mashie too! give those guys titanium and look out
Petty or Earnhardt?

The Intimidator-Earnhardt Sr-was at Daytona that fateful day-Have you seen Kerry Earnhardt...holy twin batman!
Schumacher or Senna?

er, uh, huh?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Big East..Independence: Fighting Irish!
