About Glenn »

I'm an enthusiastic 49er Faithful who dates back to Kezar.

I also love the San Francisco Giants, and I barely tolerate the Golden State Warriors.

I am married to my beautiful wife Kathleen.

Go, Niners!

The Shortlist »

  • Favorite Athletes

    Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, Roger Craig, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Matt Williams, Jamaal Wilkes, Phil Smith

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    49ers, S.F. Giants, Warriors

  • Favorite Coaches

    Bill Walsh; I would be remiss by not naming Eddie De Bartolo as an owner, which there is not a category for.

  • All Time Sports Moment

    "The Catch" and John Taylor's catch in the Super Bowl victory over the Bengals

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Giants beating the Dodgers in 1992. Of course, a fight broke out. I didn't get to a 49ers playoff game, but I did watch them in regular season numerous times. I saw the Warriors play their championship season.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Montana's four spectacular Super Bowls, three of which were blowouts.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Russell

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    I hate hockey

  • Pele or Maradona?

    You're asking a football fan about this?

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Ditto.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Golf is boring, but I would say it's a tie.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Mario Andretti, get real.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    uh, huh. Same thing. I didn't know this was a sport.

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

    NFL, Pac 10 (USC)
