The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Eli Manning, Amani Toomer (I met him and he was very nice to me), Chris Drury, David Wright (he's a rival (a Met) but he's also a great player and a great athlete), LeBron James
Favorite Sports Teams

The New York Yankees, The New York Giants, The New York Rangers, Brooklyn/LA Dodgers (gotta respect Jackie, Campanella, Joe Torre and co.), not much for basketball, but the Cleveland Cavaliers are OK.
Favorite Coaches

Aaron Boone's walk-off HR to beat the BoSox, 2003 ALCS; The DYNASTY: 4 World Championships in 5 years for the Yankees: 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000, Super Bowl XLII: 18-1. Thats all I have to say.

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

Hey, I wrote a piece on whether or not fans are right to keep booing Derek Jeter.

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

I don't usually link my articles, but I feel this one is important. It's about the blatant favoritism surrounding David Ortiz. Please take a look if you're interested.
