Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Darrelle Revis, Carlos Beltran, Stephon Marbury, Brook Lopez, Mike Piazza, Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, Dirk Nowitzki, Mark Sanchez, Timo Perez, Nelson Figueroa, and Albert Pujols (out of respect).

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Mets, Jets, Nets, UConn Huskies, Knicks, and Islanders.

  • Favorite Coaches

    Byron Scott, Rex Ryan, Jim Calhoun, Bobby Valentine, Phil Jackson, Don Chaney, Bobby Cox, Herm Edwards, and Jim Mora Sr. (the last two for hilarity only).

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    Michael Jordan shaking off Bryon Russell and burying the Utah Jazz. Just the thought of it gives me chills.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Villanova @ UConn back in 2006. Both teams were ranked in the top three at the time, and Gampel Pavilion was shaking from start to finish. It was an intense and highly-physical game, and my Huskies came out on top.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Cal Ripken Jr.'s consecutive games played streak.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ruth.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Haha. This is a joke, right? Michael, all day every day.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    The Great One.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele. He reinvented the sport.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Wow. Tough one. This would be easier if it were "Agassi or Sampras?" I'll say Federer because he's the greatest player I've ever seen.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Nicklaus. Bite me, Tiger.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    I will not respond directly to a NASCAR question. If that even is NASCAR.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Is there a third party?

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

    BIG EAST baby!

    Just wanted to apologize for not getting back to you sooner about the comment you left me; I just discovered that they were being sent to my e-mail's spam folder, so I've been out of the loop for the past few weeks! I hope the headline for your article was changed and that I can be more quick in helping next time around.

    Josh Sabo

    What exactly is your book about? His whole career or just the 2004 season and Theo resigning?

    Wow, John, do you actually think Rocco Baldelli is still on the Red Sox. And you realize that Tim Wakefield is 42, and that Lackey, Burnett, and Dice-K have been on the disabled list in recent years. There are some holes, but not much overlap.

    John,

    Michael here.

    I just wrote a new article on the 10 best pitchers from the first decade of the 1900s.

    Let me know what you think, thanks

    Hey John, those em dashes can be tricky sometimes. This should help:

    On a Mac, the em-dash is produced by holding down SHIFT and OPTION, then pressing the dash button. On a PC, hold down ALT and then press 0-1-5-1 on the numeric keypad. If you're working on a PC without a numeric keypad, you'll have to copy and paste em-dashes as necessary. Here's one to get you started: —

    Hey, sorry for my tardiness on replying to your problem. Looks like you were able to publish, though I see you pasted in from Word. I'll take a look for an edit.

    If you feel like you were dealing with a glitch, please click the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of this page. It might sound lame, but there is an awesome system it will take you to that will allow you to post your problem in a forum that is regularly moderated by techs and community reps. Even though I know this site pretty well, I don't have the kind of admin power that they do to go into the system and change things.

    Hope that helps,

    -Tim
