All Time Sports Moment

Besides any of my favorite teams winning it all, the 1980 Miracle on Ice (for reasons too numerous to list here)

Most Memorable Game Attended

April 18, 2008, Rangers vs. Devils, Round 1 of the 2008 SC Playoffs. After a humiliating 2006 QF sweep in which the Devils outscored the Rangers 17-4, the Blueshirts exacted revenge on their long-time rivals by eliminating NJ in its first-ever playoff series in Prudential Center. Revenge is sweet.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Continuing with the theme of my obvious NHL/Ducks bias, Teemu Selanne's 76 goals as a rookie (although he did do it as a Winnipeg Jet)

Ruth or Mays?

While I'm not much of a Yankee fan, I have to pick the great Bambino here, but only because I'm more familiar with him. Both men are very likable and I have a bit of a soft spot for the Mets, but Babe ushered in an entire era of more exciting baseball.

Unitas or Montana?

Again mostly out of familiarity, I've gotta go with Joe, who is not only the first QB I remember hearing about as a kid, but also happens to share my June 11 birthday. His 4-for-4 record in Super Bowls doesn't hurt, either.

Jordan or Russell?

I know far less about Russell than I do about Mays or Unitas, but even if I didn't, how could you not pick #23 in almost any Jordan vs. so-and-so matchup (well, unless we're talking in terms of baseball careers)? I mean, c'mon - the man is a freakin' logo!

Gretzky or Orr?

OK, I'm starting to detect an old school vs. new school pattern, so once again I'll have to go with the more modern player. Gretzky pretty much IS the NHL record book, though Bobby's career was cut way too short by injuries to make a fair comparison in regards to stats. Much like MJ, the Great One beats almost all athletes in my book, anyway.

Pele or Maradona?

Federer or Sampras?

Tiger or Nicklaus?

Petty or Earnhardt?

Schumacher or Senna?

Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?
