Jennifer 's Bio

Native Virginian, although born in Washington DC. I have always been a sports aficianado. It's like the xmas commercial when the husband cuts himself trying to take off the tag on his new Favre jersey. His blood is yellow green and black. That's how I feel about the Redskins. Burgundy and gold is what I bleed.

I love college basketball, and pro hockey as well. Big time Terps fan.

I will try and get back into baseball this year. The A-Rod scandal brings a smile to my face.

Anybody but the Cowboys and Yankees in my book.

Throw me a line anytime. And thanks for sharing your opinions and ideas with me.

I will respond with an honest answer regardless of feelings, so don't be offended.

I respect everyone's opinion on B/R. :)

"It's the sport of kings, better than diamond rings... football."

The Short List What Jennifer thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

Darrell Green, Art Monk, Dexter Manley, Cal Ripken, Len Bias, Sammy Baugh, Sonny Jurgenson, Moses Malone
Favorite Sports Teams

Redskins, Capitals, Terrapins and Orioles
Favorite Coaches

Joe Gibbs Cal Ripken Sr. Bruce Boudreau Gary Williams, Ralph Friedgen, Brenda Frese
All Time Sports Moment

35 points unanswered points against the Broncos in the Super Bowl, Skins fan chanting we want Dallas, shaking RFK
Most Memorable Game Attended

The Bills game the week Sean Taylor died. My fiance Bobby, now husband and I were in the second row behind the end zone. He was on TV.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cal Ripken's consecutive games played streak
Ruth or Mays?

Babe Ruth as much as I'd hate to admit, I am not a Yankee fan at all
Unitas or Montana?

Joe Montana Best duo ever Montana to Rice
Jordan or Russell?

Bill Russell? Jordan is a self-absorbant jerk. Celtics legend trumps the Birmingham Baron
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky, bc's he's Mr. Hockey He's the one guy soccer fans can identify
Pele or Maradona?

Pele... Soccer owes this guy for legitimizing the sport for American Sports History
Federer or Sampras?

Federer although Sampras was dominant in his era. Federer is so insane if he's on target and I believe has a better all-around game than Pete. Without the big serve not sure he would be as great as he was.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger Nuff said. He can win on one leg apparently. Greatest their ever will be.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Petty, This legacy is what racing is all about Family and tradition. Earnhardt Jr is a bit of a pretty boy. His dad was the real deal. Boogity boogity let's go racing boys.
Schumacher or Senna?

Who are these people?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Love the Terps so ACC, followed by the Big East Go Hoyas if turtle power is off

I feel like the Redskins offense isn't going to have a good year once again. I know it's just preseason, but where's the urgency? This offense needs to play well all the time because they don't have to ability to just turn it on at will. Here's my take on tonight's disaster:

Wow! I got my own personal article haha, thanks for the insight.

I totally understand what you mean though, it's really kind of a waiting game in the dog days of summer. I got to go see the Orioles and Camden Yards earlier this season though and man what an amazing experience. Sure would be great if we could just move them out of the AL East :-).

Thanks
