Favorite Athletes

Charles Barkley - yes, he's not active anymore, except for his mouth when he's talking on TNT (or eating), but he will always be my personal favorite

Favorite Sports Teams

Missouri Tigers, New York Yankees, New York Giants, and (I am ashamed to admit) the New York Knicks

All Time Sports Moment

The brief, glorious, shining week in 2007 when my Mizzou Tigers were ranked #1 in the country

Most Memorable Game Attended

1997 Missouri-Nebraska game at Faurot Field: I was in the stands on the 50 yard line when the Flea Kicker happened. My friends and I all thought that the game was over, and as people started to rush the field, I knew that something wasn't right because the Nebraska bench was celebrating right in front of us. So not a positive memory, but still memorable

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

UCLA's 88 game winning streak in basketball. I just doubt we will ever see dominance of that level ever again

Ruth or Mays?

Mays by a hair, only because the Babe wasn't able to compete against everyone (unfortunately)

Unitas or Montana?

Montana. Unitas is a great, but Montana was Joe Cool when it mattered most.

Jordan or Russell?

Russell. I am a believer in offense, and Jordan was beyond great. But Russell was a game changer on the defensive end. And yes, I still do harbor some bias against Jordan as a Knicks fan from the 80s and 90s. Sue me. :)

Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky. Orr was a good defenseman, but again, I believe in offense. And when the league retires your number during your final game, I think that says volumes, too.

Pele or Maradona?

Pele. Hand of God notwithstanding

Federer or Sampras?

Sampras. Federer has been very dominant, but men's tennis is down. Sampras had much, much tougher competition

Tiger or Nicklaus?

Eldrick wins. Jack is influential, but Tiger has exhibited not only periods of absolute dominance, but has changed the game off the course as well

Petty or Earnhardt?

Petty. Going with the King for this one.

Schumacher or Senna?

Racing, huh? I'm actually speechless here.

Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Big 12 Basketball (because I'm an alum), but for football, it's the SEC all the way. Sorry, Big Ten and Pac-10, but the SEC just cares more.
