My name is Michael Gwizdala and I love writing, talking about, watching and playing sports. I'm always up for a great game and a great story. I'm new to the Bleacher Report, but you may have seen my work on Fox Sports.com, Fan Nation.com, SI.com, ESPN.com, among others. Perhaps you've even heard a few of my shows on Blog Talk Radio.com. In any event I hope to be able to contribute some quality coverage to what's going on in the world of sports. Happy to be aboard.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak.
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth, and not because of the HR totals. Ruth could hit & pitch at HOF levels.
Unitas or Montana?

Johnny U
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan is the best I've ever seen, but Russell won against tougher competition
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky has basically every record in hockey, what else do you want?
Pele or Maradona?

Pele, because Pele is Pele right?
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras, no Pete couldn't win on clay but I'd take him anywhere else.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger is the most dominant I've ever seen, but Nicklaus played against better competition.
ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

Big East
