Brandon's Bio

As a 24-year-old Sports-enthusiast, especially with a love for both baseball and college football, Brandon J. Buell lives and works in beautiful St. Augustine Beach, Florida and tries to contribute to this site as often as his time allows.

He is a fan of the Atlanta Braves, Florida State Seminoles, Jacksonville Jaguars, Orlando Magic, and Kentucky Wildcats. He misses the day when baseball was not notoriously known for Barry Bonds and Manny Ramirez, 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, hates the BCS, and is having an amazing 2009.

The Short List What Brandon thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Barry Larkin, Derek Jeter, Josh Hamilton, Cal Ripken, Jr., Greg Maddux, Chipper Jones, Jimmy Rollins, Jake Peavy, Brandon Backe, David Garrard, Maurice Jones-Drew, Tiger Woods, Jameer Nelson, Dwight Howard, Kevin Harvick, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., and Kasey Kahne.
Favorite Sports Teams

Atlanta Braves, Florida State Seminoles, Jacksonville Jaguars, Orlando Magic, and the Kentucky Wildcats.
Favorite Coaches

Bobby Bowden, Bobby Cox, Bill Stewart, Stan Van Gundy, and Jack Del Rio.
All Time Sports Moment

A day spent with Mr. Barry Larkin. An incredible talent, a future Hall of Famer, and an amazing, humble man. (My Atlanta Braves winning the 1995 World Series, Florida State Seminoles winning the 1993 and 1999 College Football National Championships, and Kentucky Wildcats basketball in their championship seasons are runners-up. ...Still waiting on the Jags and Magic...)
Most Memorable Game Attended

Baseball Roadtrip, Summer of 2004: 1.) Boston Red Sox @ Baltimore Orioles (Camden Yards, Baltimore, MD) 2.) Boston Red Sox @ New York Yankees (Yankee Stadium, New York, NY) 3.) Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim @ Boston Red Sox (Fenway Park, Boston, MA)
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, 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.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

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.

Sorry, it was a real small thing and was barely noticeable. Just a space between paragraphs. My transgressions are usually much, much worse. Thanks for the compliments and keep up the great work.

Had trouble with the revision notes (I'm in Explorer and not Firefox right now) but all I did to "We’re Talking Baseball: Continuing the Legacy" was make a paragraph break between two paragraphs. Great column. I'm a huge Reds fan and Barry's one of my all-time faves.

Additionally, thanks for being a fan. This is a great opportunity. I'm using the venue to get some sports humor out there. I was originally recruited to help with college sports coverage, but CFB and CBB are months away and it's going to be really hard to get serious around August or so...

Look forward to more great columns.

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!
