All Time Sports Moment
John Mobely knocking away Brett Favre's pass to Mark Chumura on 4th and 6 with 32 seconds left in Super Bowl 32 to seal the Broncos' first ever championship
-
Most Memorable Game Attended
Game 7 2001 Stanley Cup Finals, Avalanche 3 Devils 1. Joe Sakic passes up the traditional captain's skate and immediately hands the Cup to Ray Bourque who wins his first Cup in 22 years
-
Most Unbreakable Sports Record
Cy Young's 511 wins, if a 20 year old pitcher were to win 25 games per year for the next 20 years he'd still be 11 wins short of the record
-
Ruth or Mays?
Can't compare them, Ruth was the first person to think about keeping their weight on their back leg and never played against a minority, not only are they two different types of players (pure power hitter and a 5 tool player) but they played in 2 completely different eras
-
Unitas or Montana?
Similar to Ruth or Mays but not as extreme, different eras but in the end you have to go with the rings, edge to Montana
-
Jordan or Russell?
Russell played in an incredibly depleted talent pool and Jordan played with some of the best athletes ever during an era where it was ok to commit a felony on someone driving to the hoop, this one isn't close, it's MJ in a landslide. Besides, no one compares to MJ.
-
Gretzky or Orr?
Gretzky was a dominating offensive force and the best player of his era. Orr changed the way we think about how defenseman should play. You have to give the edge to someone who revolutionized the sport over someone who simply dominated their era although this is the closest of all the questions.
-
Pele or Maradona?
Ultimately soccer players are judged on what they do in World Cups and while Maradona may have the most impressive goal in World Cup Play, Pele has the stats and the rings to beat out Maradona for best player
-
Federer or Sampras?
Tennis is all about winning majors and Federer will soon overtake Sampras' record for majors. Even Sampras admits that Federer is better than he is
-
Tiger or Nicklaus?
There are warts on Tiger's resume that no one wants to discuss (like never winning a major when he wasn't winning going into Sunday) but he still has dominated the tour like no one ever has. Critics say that the talent pool is depleted and can't match Nicklaus' era; perhaps Tiger makes the talent pool look more depleted than it is.
-
Petty or Earnhardt?
NASCAR sucks.
-
Schumacher or Senna?
I don't pay enough attention to F1 to give an educated opinion on this
-
ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?
NCAAF: SEC, even as a Big 12 fan I can't argue with this fact. NCAAB: ACC gets all the hype, Big East provides the substance, while the ACC has Duke, Wake, and UNC, the Big East has UConn, Villanova, Pitt, Syracuse, Georgetown, Louisville, and Marquette, teams like Notre Dame, Cincinatti, and West Virginia are always on the bubble because of their brutal conference schedules
