Justin's Bio

Justin is a free-lance sportswriter. He calls De Pere, WI his home. While he loves all wisconsin sports teams the most, he is more or less just a fan of competition in general. Friendly competition is his lifeblood, and sports are the easiest way to convey that.

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

Favorite Athletes

NFL-Brett Favre (I'm not a bleeding heart, whining fan about what has happened with him), MLB-Ichiro Suzuki, NBA-Steve Nash, NHL-Joe Sakic, Honorable Mentions-Kevin Garnett, Ryan Braun, Aaron Kampman
Favorite Sports Teams

Packers, Brewers, Bucks, UW-Green Bay Basketball, Colorado Avalanche, Seattle Mariners, Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics
All Time Sports Moment

Lame story. My High School Intramural Basketball team started a 10 game season at 0-5, then won 4 in a row, and a win in the last game put us in the playoffs. In overtime, I blocked 3 shots in route to a scoreless OT, and in the sudden death OT, i buried the game winner from the elbow. Awesome.
Most Memorable Game Attended

My First Packer Game. December 31st, 1994. NFC Divisional Playoff, Packers 16 Lions 12. The Packers held the great Barry Sanders to -1 yards rushing.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cal Ripken's Consecutive Games streak. I dare anybody to break that
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth. While both are great, there is scarce a name as famous as Babe Ruth
Unitas or Montana?

Montana had more talent, but I think Unitas was better in his time.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan. Best All-Time, straight up.
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky. He started as the great one, and never looked back.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele. The greatest ambassador for the beautiful game.
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras. In his prime, the quiet giant was better than anyone I've ever seen.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger. He WILL break all the records, torn up leg or not.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Earnhardt. He and his son have done more for making NASCAR a mainstream sport than anyone ever could.
Schumacher or Senna?

Schumacher, because he's the only reason I know that this is a question about F1 racing.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

The Big 10 gets so much flack, but i really like them. They have schools that are competitive in every sport.

Hey, I wanna introduce myself--I am the community leader for the Packers on this site. Basically, this means doing whatever I can do to be a resource for you (mostly edits for presentation, punctuation, grammar and spelling) so you can focus on making your content worthy of the greatest team in the world!
