Jeff McCaskill's Sportswriter Profile

Jeff McCaskill

Generating profile stats...

U.C. Berkeley alum (Class of '94). Naturally, huge Cal Bears fan... naturally, not overly optimistic about the Bears' current run for the title...

My NFL favorite is Green Bay. Cheesehead for life! My MLB favorite is Boston. Go Sox!

However, I love to talk about all things sports. Look forward to getting to know some of you at the Bleacher Report. There are REALLY some terrific sportswriters here... Keep the insightful articles coming!

The Play: '82 Cal vs. Stanford game: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aCDfJH6eRY)
Ruth or Mays?

Mays. Ruth brought loads to the game, but Willie was the total package, a complete player.
Unitas or Montana?

Only saw Johnny U. on film, but I can't believe anyone had better touch than Montana.
Jordan or Russell?

Michael Jordan was (and will long remain) the most complete player in NBA history.
Gretzky or Orr?

Wayne Gretzky was a MACHINE!
Pele or Maradona?

Pele was, and will always remain, the greatest in my book. Unspeakably talented!
Federer or Sampras?

Hate tennis, so I don't give a damn. Primadonnas all around, if you ask me.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Both class acts. But gotta give Tiger the nod for re-energizing the game and superlative skills.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Saw King Richard race at Riverside as a kid, so I gotta go with the King on this one!
Schumacher or Senna?

Senna was the better driver, but Schumacher is a supreme tactician. I miss Senna, though.
ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

Pac-10 forever!
