About

As a 25-year-old Sports-enthusiast, especially with a love for both baseball and college football, Brandon Buell resides near and works in the Tampa, Florida Sports Complex. Home of Tampa Bay Buccaneers and South Florida Bulls Football and New York Yankees' Spring Training and Minor League Baseball, this ideal location is just the beginning of his sports journey, and he tries to contribute to this site as often as possible.

He is a fan of the Atlanta Braves, Florida State Seminoles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Orlando Magic, and Kentucky Wildcats because of where he has lived and the home that he grew up in. He misses the day when baseball was not notoriously known for the Barry Bonds', the Alex Rodriguez's and Manny Ramirez's of the sport, and when college athletes understood the importance of a 4-year education and helping their respected University establish continuity in athletics.

He believes in the one true God, knows the importance of religion, faith, family and friends in his own life, has his priorities in order, stands for the Pledge of Allegiance and the 7th Inning Stretch, and hates the BCS.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Barry Larkin, Derek Jeter, Jason Heyward, Troy Polamalu and Kevin Harvick.

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Atlanta Braves, Florida State Seminoles, Pittsburgh Steelers, Orlando Magic, and the Kentucky Wildcats.

  • Favorite Coaches

    Bobby Bowden, Bobby Cox, Jimbo Fisher, Mike Tomlin and Fredi Gonzalez.

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    An afternoon spent with Barry Larkin and getting to know one of the nicer people I've ever met: Lou Piniella... seriously.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Baseball Road Trip in the summer of 2004 to Camden Yards, the old Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Major League Baseball's Cal Ripken Jr.'s' "Iron Man" record of 2,632 consecutive played games.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Although I am very partial to both, and yes, both are in the Top 5 of Greatest Baseball Players in Major League Baseball History, the nod has to go to Mr. George Herman "Babe" Ruth, Jr., not just for what he did at the plate, but on the mound, as well. He is the greatest baseball player of all time. Proof? Sure: 22 seasons batting: .342 BA, 714 HR's, 2217 RBI's. 10 seasons pitching: 94-46, 2.28 ERA, 107 CG's.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Super Bowl Wins? Unitas: 1 - Montana: 4... 'Nuff said.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    "Wanna be, wanna be like Miiike!!"

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    I'll gamble....Gretzky!

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Watch the highlight reel: Pele all the Way!

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer... now.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Nicklaus for now. Barring no more knee injuries or extracurricular activities, I see in the future...Tiger, Tiger Woods, y'all!

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    I'm extremely biased: the late, the great, Mr. Dale Earnhardt.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Could care less.

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    Depends on the sport, but the tables are constantly turning... which I love!

    Brandon,

    Can I ask a favor from you. I'm probably going to be leaving this site soon due to the fact that I'm probably going to be taking an internship with Next Season Sports. I need someone to try and get through to these people on here that God is the creator and the only way to heaven. I've tried a few times in articles but I don't want to leave without knowing that they will still get a Christianity in sports every once in a while. There is another guy named Henry and a few other guys who are Christians on here.

    Never mind, I guess you aren't from Ohio. I just don't see Cleveland getting all three awards. Especially Cy Young for Pavano.

    Brandon,
    Thanks for the comment on my article. My last comment on the page was referring to an extremely offensive and classless post by an ohio state fan. because of the language in it, it has since been deleted. I know some LSU fans come off as arrogant but I promise you the majority of our fan base are passionate knowledgable fans who love college football. I basically only respond negatively to people that are way off base.

    You seem like a reasonable guy but I didn't want to you to get a bad taste in your mouth from some of the comments after that article. That Jimson guy is a Kansas fan who is at war with most of the people on this site. BUt I don't mind him because his arguments are so far gone they are humorous to me. But he draws a reaction to say the least.

    Just thought my last comment before yours was posted needed to be explained. thanks a bunch.

    Yeah welcome to the team. This site is awesome and recently signed an agreement with Fox Sports.com, so if you can write, you WILL get the opportunity you always dreamed of. Writing columns is tough, I suck at it and have it took me forever to write a legitimate one. Keep up the good work and I look forward to reading your material in the future!
