About Michael »

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.

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.
Petty or Earnhardt?
Schumacher or Senna?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Big East

For all of those out there who say baseball should have a salary cap, prepare to have some knowledge dropped on you.

The Yankees have put together an unbelievable streak of magical wins, but is Yankee Stadium and its short right field porch New York’s “magic wand?” Can sitting back and waiting for a solo HR really translate to October success?

Thanks in advance! I would love to hear your feedback and comments. Take care.

The new Yankee Stadium had been criticized for its lack of intensity and electricity in the early months of the season, but this weekend’s series against the Red Sox finally make a familiar place seem like HOME.

Thanks in advance, and I would look to hear your opinions and feedback. Take care.

I don't usually link my articles, but I feel this one is important. It's about the blatant favoritism surrounding David Ortiz. Please take a look if you're interested.
