Eric Writes About

The Short List facts and information about Eric Brown

Favorite Athletes

Emmitt Smith, Penny Hardaway, Reggie Nelson, Danny Wuerffel, Tim Tebow, Dwight Howard, MJ...Least favorites: Magic, Isiah, Montana, Kirk Gibson, any Florida State Seminole (ever), all Mannings, several others


Favorite Sports Teams

Florida Gators, Orlando Magic. I really can't claim any others due to geographical constraints. I've been trying to be a Bucs fan for years, but can't figure out how. I sign free agent NFL contracts just like players do, one year at a time, for the full year, win or lose.


All Time Sports Moment

Watching Florida win its second men's basketball championship from the hospital with my wife, holding my one-day-old daughter.


Most Memorable Game Attended

'97 Florida/FSU in Gainesville

Whatever Tiger ends up with

Baby Ruth

Pele or Maradona?

Your mom.


Jordan or Gretzky?

Jordan, then Bo Jackson, then Gretzky. Cartoon style.


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

SEC. C'mon.

  4. Hey Eric,

    I hope you've been enjoying the new and improved Bleacher Report—we're really happy with the feedback we've received so far.

    Just thought I'd let you know that next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements, and thus it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Eric!
