  • All-Time Sports Moment

    The Philadelphia Phillies winning the World Series in 2008. I'll never forget Brad Lidge's filthy slider to strike out Eric Hinske.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    The Phillies completing their miraculous comeback against the New York Mets on September 30, 2007. That season was the 1st year my family possessed the Phillies Sunday season ticket package.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Richard Petty's 200 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series wins.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    The Babe. He did it all.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Unitas reinvented the quarterback position, but Montana never lost the Super Bowl and was pretty dominant in the NFL's modern era. Montana easily.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. Global icon who could do it all.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky. They don't call him "The Great One" because he was a King. Well, technically he was...

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Maradona. Best footwork I've ever seen out of a soccer player. He could strike the ball to any area in the back of the net. I know Argentina loves him.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer. Overcame every obstacle he faced. Won 15 major titles and won on every surface. Sorry Pete, you couldn't win on clay.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Two different eras of golf they played in. Jack used wooden clubs and Tiger uses titanium. I choose Tiger because when he wins, he usually dominates.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Earnhardt. The Intimidator dominated NASCAR for two decades and won seven championships in the modern era.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Schumacher. The greatest F1 driver ever. R.I.P Senna...

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

    Big Ten. Penn State's in it...
