I am a 17 year-old aspiring sports journalist or broadcaster. I currently am the sports editor for my school newspaper. I also write the script and produce a sports show for school. Its obvious that sports have a huge impact on my life and I will be attending THE Ohio State University, majoring in Sport and Leisure Studies/Sports Management and minoring in Communications/Journalism so i can be an agent, a newscaster for ESPN, manage a team, or be a sports writer.

Favorite Athletes

Carmelo Anthony, JR Smith, Michael Jordan, Darren McFadden, JaMarcus Russell, Troy Smith, Chris Wells, Ted Ginn, Adam (not Pacman) Jones
Favorite Sports Teams

Denver Nuggets, Oakland Raiders, Baltimore Orioles, Ohio State Football, North Carolina Basketball

Most Memorable Game Attended

Ruth or Mays?

Mays- Ruth may have been more of an icon, especially in New York, but Mays was the better all around player.
Unitas or Montana?

Montana- Possibly the most clutch QB in NFL history, plus Unitas was too far before my time.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele- Everyone in soccer (excuse me....."futbol") wants to be like him, just like every basketball player wants to be "Like Mike"
ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

SEC, not because of speed, but because of the parity of the top teams, anyone could win on any given saturday. But as an OSU fan, I still will put up a fight to why they are just as good, minus the parity.
