All Time Sports Moment

"The catch"... Niners! ...and the Warriors upsetting Mavs in 2007 Playoffs
Most Memorable Game Attended

Baron Davis dunking over Todd MacCullough at UCLA
Most Unbreakable Sports Record
Ruth or Mays?

Mays - I'm partial to the Giants :)
Unitas or Montana?

Montana - Did someone mention "the catch"? Plus, he's Mr. Nice Guy.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan - defined the new basketball era, with an indomitable will
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky - Come on... "The Great One"!
Pele or Maradona?

Pele - known by soccer/football fans AND those who don't know a lick about the sport
Federer or Sampras?
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger - standing on the shoulders of giants, but it's awe-inspiring what he's already done and with lots of room left to do more
Petty or Earnhardt?
Schumacher or Senna?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

PAC 10 -- I'm a little biased, but that's the way it is.
