About Matt »

Hey, my name is Matt Algarin. I am a recent graduate of the University of West Florida. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Journalism. I am writing for BleacherReport so I can share my point of view and feelings towards the teams that I love and follow. I am going to be one of the editing interns, I look forward to meeting new people and networking with the other sports lovers on the site. If you have an article that you want me to look at, feel free to shoot me a line, I would be more than happy to look it over for you.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Grady Sizemore, LeBron James, Andy Roddick, Brady Quinn, just to name a few...
Favorite Sports Teams

Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Red Wings
Favorite Coaches

Mike Brown, Mike Hargrove, Thad Matta, Jim Tressel, Dusty Baker
All Time Sports Moment

As heartbreaking as it was... Watching the Indians fall to the Marlins in the world series.
Most Memorable Game Attended

My first cavs game growing up in Cleveland... It was against Seattle.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Has to be Cal Ripken's consecutive games mark.
Ruth or Mays?

Babe Ruth just for the way he accomplished his feats, with no regrets and he did it his way.
Unitas or Montana?

I lean towards Unitas. Montana in my opinion was overrated. He always had a good cast around him and that really benefited him. Unitas was just a tough, hard nosed ball player. A true legend...
Jordan or Russell?

No question. Jordan, do you even need to explain this one?
Gretzky or Orr?

I have to pick Gretzky... He is the greatest ever. Nobody will ever be better in my opinion.
Pele or Maradona?

Never watched too much international soccer, so not too sure on who i
Federer or Sampras?

There is something about Federer that I dont like, almost a smugness to him. So, by default I go Sampras.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tie... They are both amazing golfers and legends in their own time.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Not too big on the NASCAR...
Schumacher or Senna?

Once again not to big of a fan here...
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Big Ten all the way... Go Buckeyes!!!
