About Stephen »

Stephen Black has just surrendered to his sportswriting passion after a six-year "cup of coffee" in the corporate world. He currently writes for a weekly publication distributed in metro Atlanta. When he is not writing, he is searching for a good game to watch and people to discuss it with.

Stephen lives in Atlanta and loves to observe the four major professional sports when not obsessing about college sports. He is a graduate of the University of Georgia and follows SEC sports especially closely. He also has an unexplainable fascination with international soccer, especially the World Cup.

The Shortlist »

  • Favorite Athletes

    Herschel Walker and Cal Ripken

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    The Dawgs, Thrashers, Braves, Hawks and Falcons. You might also catch me rooting on the Azzuri in the World Cup.

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Ripken's HR on the night he broke Gehrig's record.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Georgia-Auburn 2002. I thought we would never win the SEC again.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Ripken's consecutive game streak.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ruth. He hit more HRs than most teams in his day.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. Russell had plenty of help,

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky, are you kidding?

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele. He wasn't on cocaine...

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Sampras until Roger wins the French Open.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger. He will pass Jack within 5 years for most major titles.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    How do you count to 5 in the South? One..two...Earnhardt...four..five

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Baking powder?

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

    SEC! Is there any question?

I am surprised by the number of people who actually want to reserve the right to bad-mouth their teams! I offer constructive criticism, of course, but one in particular wants to be able to say, "they suck," if they do.

I don't get it. Will YOU take the pledge?
