About Stephen »

28 years old, on active duty in the Air Force since 2001. Recently graduated with a degree in Marketing Management, and I'm starting to grease the wheels for a possible career related to sports (radio, TV, internet, whatever). I grew up playing football, basketball, and baseball. I played baseball in college (though it was a short stint) before I joined the Air Force, and feel I have a really good knowledge of the game. On a personal note, I'm married to my wife, Brittny, and we're expecting our first child (a girl!) this coming October. I hope my articles bring you in; I try to write fan-to-fan, not to inform the fan.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Ken Griffey, Jr., Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Matt Ryan, Peyton Manning, Chipper Jones, Brian McCann, Roy Halladay, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Knowshon Moreno
Favorite Sports Teams

Los Angeles Lakers, Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Falcons, Georgia Bulldogs, USC Trojans
Favorite Coaches

Bobby Cox, Phil Jackson
All Time Sports Moment

For me, probably Kirk Gibson's HR off Eck in the '88 World Series - it's the first sports memory I really remember as a child. Plus our whole family was into it, jumping and screaming through the house
Most Memorable Game Attended

For different reasons, but the first Falcons game I went to in '97 - a fight broke out about 20 feet to our left, and that's the game June Jones & Jeff George screamed at each other - classic!
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

2632 consecutive games by Cal Ripken, Jr.
Ruth or Mays?

Wow - I'll take Ruth, just because of his 'studliness' in the fall classic
Unitas or Montana?

I'll take Joe Montana, Captain Cool - seriously, he points out John Candy on the final drive of the Super Bowl?!?
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan, Jordan, Jordan...
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky was magical with the puck, and I never saw Orr play, so I'll take Gretzky
Pele or Maradona?

Pele is the GOAT!
Federer or Sampras?

Federer won the French - he can play on clay...I'll take Roger
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger - he's the reason I play golf now, and when he's done, he'll have around 25 majors
Petty or Earnhardt?

Petty was, and always will be, king of the track
Schumacher or Senna?

Senna's life was cut short in his prime, so we never got to see that come about, so I have to go with Schumacher
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

SEC, with the Pac 10 a close second

Why one move that wasn't made helped the Celtics achieve the success that they've had.

Hey man,

I just wrote an article discussing Pau Gasol's recent injury suffered while playing for his country of Spain, which leads me to ask the question where should his allegiance lie? Please take a moment to read it and provide your own opinion as a comment. Hope you Like it!
