About Scott »

I do my best to keep up with the sports world, but have found out that getting married puts a stop to a lot of the sports watching I used to do. It used to be all sports, all day, all night, but now it's filled with dinners together (at restaurants without tv's), reality television shows, and nasty remarks about how all I want to do is watch sports. I don't know what I was thinking! :)

I live in Chicago. I am a Michael Jordan kind of guy. I'm a Bulls, Cubs, and Bears fan. I follow Notre Dame football and Ohio State football. I am an avid, crazed Duke Blue Devil fan, but my ties to DePaul University are strong, as well, seeing as how I played for them. If they ever met in the Championship Game, I wouldn't know what to do. Other than those teams, I'm a big Yankees fan, as well. If them and the Cubs ever met in the Series, my allegiance would be tested for both teams, but I would probably lean towards the team that had the players I found most deserving of a title.

I could go on for hours talking about sports, and only hope to meet a few people who share my enthusiasm. Happy writing.

I started my own website. Check it out. http://chicagosportsinterviews.com/

The Shortlist »

  • Favorite Athletes

    Only one name matters here, and that's Michael Jordan. I have others, but none touch him.

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Chicago Bulls, Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, New York Yankees, Duke Blue Devils

  • Favorite Coaches

    Phil Jackson, Coach K

  • All Time Sports Moment

    A ton of MJ moments to go through. I don't want to name one or two, because it would make others seem less important in my life.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    A Bears-Packers game in mid-December. I don't think I felt my toes for a week afterwards.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    I would say 56 game hitting streak or Nolan Ryan's 5,714 K's, as well as 511 Wins by Cy Young.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mickey Mantle

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Please.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Not a hockey guy, but did watch Gretzky play and enjoyed it, thoroughly.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Soccer?!?

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Tennis?!? Anna Kournikova in a bathing suit.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger needs to help me with my swing.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Go-Kart racing?!?

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Are these actual people?!?

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

    ACC and Big East.
