About Ryan »

Ryan Alberti played four years of college football in central New Jersey before lighting out for the Southern California coast and the eastern Mojave Desert. Professional commitments have since lured him to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he spends his free time cuddling with a space heater and longing for the sunburns of yesteryear.

  • Favorite Athletes

  • Favorite Sports Teams

  • Favorite Coaches

  • All Time Sports Moment

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

  • Ruth or Mays?

    The Babe. But only because I'm such a diehard Kelly McGillis fan. (Put THAT in your Google search field and smoke it.)

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Unitas. Those Montana winters are brutal.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. Russell couldn't hit .202 to save his life.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Maradona, because I'm a sucker for Desperately Seeking Susan. Unless we're talking about Pele the Hawaiian goddess of fire, in which case I have to go with the deity.

  • Federer or Sampras?

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

  • Schumacher or Senna?

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

    Hey Ryan,

    I don't normally promote my articles this much, but as one of the top writers on Bleacher Report, I was hoping you would weigh in on this important discussion about our role as writers:
